dubious, had I not fome time fmce fcen large Blood- 
Veflels in the Tendon of a HoHes Leg,- which at that 
time Convinced me, that Tendons , as well as Bones, 
and other Parts, would Unite, tho' they were quire di- 
vided, in cafe the Neighbouring Parts remain entire if 
their two Extreams could be Artificially applied to each 
other, wir.hout Comprefling all or the greateft part of 
their Blood- Veflels. This diftnbution of the Blooft 
Veflels,is expreft in theanriext Figure i. where oneTrunk 
(A J) with its Branches (a a) to the FihriUa of the 
Tendon (5 B) is expreft : whether it was a Vein or an 
Artery, I could not difcover in that SubjedJ:, but in all 
probability, both thofe Veflels have the like Difpofition 
in fuch large Tendons. I am enclined to think the like 
Diftribution of Blood- VefTels is not to be found in the 
Tendon, which was divided in this prefent Inftance • 
but that its Blood -VefTels pafs into it and back again at 
its internal fide, next the Mufcles of the Toes and Tarfm ; 
which ought to be taken Notice of by the Operator in 
the like Cafe, and that he does not free it of its Fat an J 
Membranes next thofe Mufcles, leafl its Communicati- 
on with the Blood- VefTels be deftroyed.
