Lobe is much shrunken and shows advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, -including a large cavity. Extensive tuberculous disease is also present in the lower lobe. Over the upper lobe and in the great fissure, the pleural layers are seen to be separated and the space crossed by fine vascular loops; the intervening meshes are filled with serous fluid, ' and the whole presents a gelatinous appearance. As yet the pleural membrane itself is hardly at all thickened. The dense fibrous thickening which results at a later stage may be seen in Plates XXX. And XXXI.
