and the liver removed, in doing which the stomach had been cut, 

 but not so much as to spoil it entirely. In every essential point 

 this viscus is the same as in all the Semnopitheci hitherto examined. 

 It consists of a large cardiac pouch with a strong muscular band, 

 running as it were around it so as to divide it into two compart- 

 ments, an upper and lower, slightly corrugated into sacculi ; the caV' 

 diac apex of the upper pouch projects as a distinct sacculus of an oval 

 form, and is not bifid. From this upper pouch runs a long and 

 gradually narrowing pyloric portion, corrugated into sacculi by means 

 of three muscular bands, of which one is continued from the band 

 dividing the cardiac pouch into two compartments. The elongated 

 pyloric portion sweeps around the lower cardiac pouch. 



The oesophagus enters the first compartment about four inches 

 from its terminal apex, giving oiF a radiation of longitudinal muscular 

 fibres over the central portion of the first compartment. The second 

 or lower compartment is the largest and deepest, and is embraced by 

 longitudinal muscular fibres from the oesophagus to the division-band, 

 but unlike the same compartment in the stomach of the Semnopithecus 

 Entellus, it is very slightly sacculated ; indeed it can scarcely be said 

 to be so at all. The admeasurements are as follow : 



feet, inches.

The average diameter of the small intestines, lying flat, was | of an 

 inch ; the ileum, however, was rather more, but not quite an inch. 



The c(Ecum is of a pyramidal figure, 5 inches in length, pointed, 

 and somewhat sacculated by three slight muscular bands. Circum- 

 ference at the base, 5^ inches. 



The large intestines are puckered into sacculi by two longitudinal 

 bands ; they commence large, becoming gradually smaller, the 

 bands in the meantime gradually disappearing. Advancing towards 

 the rectum the intestine again enlarges, and here, to the extent of 

 2^ feet from the anus, all trace of bands is lost. 



The circumference of the large intestines at their commencement 

 is 31 inches. 



The lungs consisted of two lobes on each side, the fissure dividing 

 the lobes on the right side being the most complete. 



The laryngeal sac was of enormous size, and single. It extended 

 over the whole of the throat, and advanced below the clavicles, com- 

 municating by means of a single but large opening with the larynx. 

 This opening is on the left side, between the larynx and the os hy aides,
