out in a confufed irroration of the external iurface 5 withouc 
any ebullition^ unlefs at the larger ramification of the hren-- 
chics. Then I tyed up this fecond lobe, and untyed a third, 
powring in an ounce of the oyl of turpentine 5 at the fyphoa 
I gave a fmall blaft, and corked it up. Two hours after I 
took ofFthefmall membrane of that lobe, and upon a gentle 
blaft at the fyphon found an ebulHcion of infinite little 
bubles* 
Marek icth (having continued it to the chimney, ) I cut 
all the lobes in pieces by different and various irregular incifi* 
ons 5 whence I could eafily obferve the leveral ramifications 
of the aerial and fanguineous vefTels, with their continuation 
to the circumference of the lobes, and a proportionable dimi« 
Dution as they were at a further diftance from their origi*

Shall! hence conclude the Strufture of the Lungs to be a 
Complication of a multitude of the Ramifications of the bron- 
chise and fanguineous veffcfs ? And that the feeming veficles 
were occafiond oniy by the violence of the blaft, and the 
drinefs of the extreme and fmalleft paffagcs of the Aerial vef- 
fels 5 whereupon thofejneareft to the bronchii^ (hting moifter,) 
were, more than their ordinary proportion,^ extended, upon 
hindrance of a free and ufua! paffage to the Air in the Icffer 
veflTcls or their extremities ?

have infinitely more advantages for the dilcovery of Nature's 
works, and to w^hom 1 cannot imagine this fcrible to be any 
novelty. In which uncertainty I leavc it to youc difcretion to 
do with it as you pleafe*
