of the Areola or Net-like Mefli they are to reach 
to ; hence they dip at once, at right Angles 
down to the Veins, which they enter alfo at 
right Angles, fome into the larger converging 
Veins, others into the Icffer Veins, which like 
the Arteries branch at right Angles from the 
converging Veins, and fpread like them the 
Areolas or Meflies : But the Areolas betweeft 
the converging Arteries are much larger, and 
more nearly right fided and reftangular than 
the Areolas of the converging Veins, vvhich 
approach nearer to Circles.

to have all the Communications between the 
Arteries and Veins fo very fmall that only fingfc 
Globules can paft 5 but alfo to have the Blood

alfo to enter the Veins in the fame manner,
