The adhesion too, is in both cases formed from the pulpy matter formerly ex- plained, for I have oftener than once had an _ opportunity of tracing its gradual changes into each. Such adhesions are to be con- sidered as the consequence of previous in- flammation, and shew that an inflammation of the pericardium may be survived. They connect the pericardium in different cases, more closely or loosely to the surface of the heart; and where the connection is close, the inflammation has probably been more re- cent ; where it is loose the inflammation has probably been of older date, so that time has been given for the adhesions to be elonga- ted by the motion of the heart.
