On consideration of this it was with pleasure, therefore, at the suggestion of the late Dr. O. Charnock Bradley, Principal of the R.(Dick).V.C.,that I under- took the investigation of the subject, giving cognisance to work already done. I have endeavoured to elucidate and enlarge facts therein, which are not now clear and in addition to detail data which has not previously been appreciated I have approached the problem with the following as a basis for my research. (a) The intercommunication of Bronchioles. (b) The development of air -sacs and recurrent bronchi. (c) The determining of communications between all parts of the Bronchial Tree.
