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,

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.

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.

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
