HARVEY has not succeeded in trac- ing any between vessels of dif- ferent orders, except in the cho- roid plexus, the vasa praeparantia, and the umbilical chord, 103. HARVEY gives his views of the

way in which it is effected, 599. ANAXAGORAS, his doctrine of Homceo-

merism, 409.

Aneurism, observations on an axillary, as illustrating the pulsations of the arteries, 25. ARGENT, Dr., dedication of work on

heart and blood to, 5. ARISTOTLE, his ideas of the manner and order of acquiring knowledge, 158. writes on the formation of the chick,

226. on the production of a fruitful

egg, 287.

confuted by HARVEY, 293. on the manner in which the efficient cause of the generation of the chick acts, 344.

on the order of the parts in gene- ration, 407. his distinction of parts into geni-

talia and instrumenta, 410. Arteries, contain blood only, 11.

contain the same blood as the veins,

11. dilate,because filled as bladders, they

do not expand like bellows, 12. motions and pulses of the, 24.

��Arteries, (continued.')

their pulses due to the blood thrown

into them by the left ventricle, 25.

their coats have no inherent power

of pulsation, 111. cause of their emptiness, 115. and veins, all have their origin in

the heart, 392.

Artery and accompanying vein, division of, to prove the course of the current in each vessel, 120. Asthma, use of dry cupping and cold af- fusion in, 119.

Auricles of the heart, observations on, 26 et seq.

Bass Island, notice of, 208.

the heart, 26. Birds, their patience and perseverance in

arteries, 35.

in the adult it permeates the sub- stance of the lungs from the right to the left ventricle, 40. quantity of, that passes from the veins to the arteries through the heart, 45, 48, 49, 52. circular motion of the, 46, 52 ; de- monstrated from the impossibility of the whole current being sup- plied by the ingesta, 48. why so much found in the veins, so

little in the arteries, 51. enters a limb by the arteries, and returns from it by the veins, 54. its circular and ceaseless motion through the heart demonstrated from the effects of ligatures on the veins, 60.

its circular and ceaseless motion proved by the structure of the valves in the veins, 62. of the arteries and veins of the same

nature or kind, 113. bright colour of the arterial blood
