DORSAL SURFACE OF TOXOUE. 319 The mediastinum, by dividing the chest into cavities, obviates many inconveni-ences to which we should otherwise be liable. It prevents the right and left lungsfrom compressing each other when we lie on one side, and consequently con-tributes to the freedom of respiration, which is disturbed by the least pressure onthe lungs. If the point of a sword penetrates between the ribs into the cavityof the thorax, the lung on that side ceases to perforin its office, because the airbeing admitted through the wound, prevents the dilatation of that lung; whilethe other lung, which is separated from it by the mediastinum, remains unhurt,and continues to perform its functions as usual—Hooper. The following is quoted from Lardner:— Dorsal Surface of Tongue.—It is on the superior surface, or dorsum, as

That anatomist classes the lingual papillae in four orders called Calyciform,Fungiform, CorolHform, and Hemispherical. m Fungiform Papilla.—In front of the papillse here described, and occupyingthe middle third of the length of the tongue, are found numerous others, muchless voluminous, but more numerous and more closely packed together, like thepile of velvet. These stand perpendicular to the lingual surface, and are netinclined backwards, as was maintained by Malpighi. They are generallyarranged in parallel lines emerging from the axis of the tongue, as branchesemerge from the stem of a leaf. These papillae have generally
