    showed distinct fibre-cellular structure. No changes were noticed in the endothelium. m 2 The newly formed vessels present no peculiarity worthy o note as to their structure. They are capillaries, and are found mostly in the deeper layer of the pleura, which, it will be re- membered, was richly cellular, and in the new cellular growth of Fig. i.—Showing extreme vascularity of the newly formed fibroid materia], giving it more or less the appearance of granulation tissue ; all trace of tho alveolar walls being lost, and many new vessels being in process of formation. the alveoli and interlobular tissue. Indeed, where the change is very active, these tortuous capillaries, imbedded in crowds of lymphoid cells, present exactly the appearance of granulation- tissue, and as this material becomes organised, so the vessels tend to disappear.
