forced, which has occasioned extravasation through the ter- 
minating ends of the branches ; magnified 400 diameters.

absorbent vessel. At one terminating branch of the vein the 
injection has also been forced out ; magnified 400 diameters.

which some of the intervalvular portions are inflated, others 
collapsed ; magnified 400 diameters.
