'Pellicula made a perfed Veflel from the Larinx to 
the very ex tremi ties 6T the Sr^/z^r^/e/,' o^^ it came" 
off very eafily without breaking either the Trunk or 
the Brartches , juft as you fee it in Fig. i. I did 
ohferve that it did adhe^rd. to the . in>vard coat of the 
Trachea^ only by feme fmall Filaments v^^hich were 
fo tenda- that they broke off eafify, which ftiade me 
think the production of that extraordinary VelTel was 
nothing but the mucilaginous humour which is conti- 
nually difcharged /by the Glandules of the Trachea^ 
which being grown more clammy by the diftemper, 
was reduced to a kind of Jelly by the dfyiiefs of the 
air, which drynefs not permitting the fpitting it out, 
incruftated the infide of the Trachea and Bronchies^ and 
growing thicker, was at laft ihaken off by the violent 
fit of Coughing the^ fe^hild^^ taken with, 
and then was renewed agairt^y^the flicceeding Mucus. 
Having taken this neW 'Veffet out bf the lungs, I did 
put it in hot water, to^iry if it could be diflblved by- 
it ^ but it did refift, and 'I bfought it to town, and 
took the figure of it fbrfiethtrig lelifet than it was na-^
