on the necks of the ribs. The lungs were sound. From a
very old woman.—J. Shekleton, Esq.
0. b. 156. A solid, bony tumor, about the size and shape
of a cherry, gi'owing by a short membranous pedicle from the
surface of the lung. It is covered by pleura.
C. b. 157. Bony concretion formed between the lung and
its investing pleura. From a middle-aged man. The pleura
is thickened; numerous adhesions existed in different parts
of the chest.—School of College.
C. b. 158. A piece of healthy lung injected ; exhibiting
several white, puckered cicatrices on its serous membrane.
No history.
*0 . b. 159. A specimen of chrome thickening and adhesion
of the pleura pulmonalis and pleura costalis, with a healthy
condition of the lung.
*0. b. 160. Adhesion of the lung to the ribs, with a conversion
of the pleurse into a thick, homogeneous, gristly substance.
The portion of lung, attached, is in a state of hepatization.
#0. b. 161. Adhesion of the pleura with the interposition,
at one part, of a large, flattened, circumscribed abscess.
The cavity of the abscess is multi-locular; and presents, inside j
a roughened, flocculent aspect. The disease appears to have
been of a very chronic nature.
*C. b. 162. A specimen of pleura costalis greatly thickened
by chronic inflammation, but not adherent to the pleura pulmonalis.
#C. b. 163. A piece of pleura costalis, slightly thickened,
and studded throughout its substance with numerous small
tubercular deposits.
*0. b. 164. A portion of pleura, studded throughout with
patches of tubercular matter, and exhibiting but little of the
ordinary effects of inflammation.
C. b. 180. An excellent specimen of the effects of acute
pneumonia, in the first stage. The lower lobe of the left,
lung is much more solid than natural, red with engorged
blood, friable and heavy. A small piece of sound lung may
be seen at the top, which, by the air it contains, keeps the
preparation afloat in the spirit. The pleura pulmonalis
presents shreds of lymph which united it to that lining the
ribs.—Sir Henry Marsh, Bart.
G. b. 181. Another section from the same lung as the preceding
preparation, 180, exhibiting similar appearances.
Idem.
0. b. 182. Sanguineous engorgement of the lower lobe of
the right lung. It resembles in every respect the specimens
marked 180, 181, though taken from a different patient.
The weight of the inflamed part is sufficient to sink the lung
in rectified spirit.—Idem.
0 . b. 183. Grey hepatization of the inferior lobe of the
right lung. The diseased part is perfectly solid; the cut
surface presents a number of yellowish-white granules, closely
clustered together, and loosely connected to the pulmonary
tissue, so as to admit of being detached with facility: intermixed
with them may be observed the black spots, and white
bronchial tubes, giving to the whole a mottled appearance.
The pleura is thickened, and adhesion has taken place between
the upper and lower lobes ; but the solidification is confined
to the latter, and terminates abruptly along the line,
where the fissure formerly existed.—J)r. Wm. Stokes.
0. b. 184. Hepatization of the lower part of the right lung;
it is solid, heavy, and of a greyish color. The section has a
granular appearance, and it is not tinged by the injection.
The bronchial tubes and black spots are very evident. The
portion of lung immediately adjoining it is in the act of
passing into the same condition: it contains but little air,
and is much weightier than natural; injection has entered it
but sparingly. The pleura is coated with a layer of lymph,—
