The (?) of the lungs between these cavities is much consolidated and studded with tuberculous matter. In the lower part of the figure a very small portion of the lung [marked a] is seen still to retain its natural condition. Delicate adhesions of lymph b,b, were seen between the lobes - C represents a band of adhesion between the Pleura Pulmonuli and Pluera Cortales."
