LÖNNBERG, ANATOMY OF INDIAN TAPIR. 7 



are large. The right measures in dorsiventral direction about 

 280 mm. and its greatest width which is nearer the dorsal 

 margin is about 200 mm. The left has a dorsiventral exten- 

 sion of about 275 mm. and a width of 225 mm. The central 

 lobes are when measured on the anterior (diaphragmatic) side 

 about 134^ cm. broad both taken together. The umbihcal 

 fissure at Ugamentum falciforme is rather deep about 5 cm. 

 But there are on the right central lobe three more fissures 

 which, however, have coalesced so that the four lobules of 

 the right central lobe formed by these fissures have joined 

 again. Lohus caiidatus is well developed. It might be termed

falciform with a length of 161^ cm. and a width at the middle 

 of 6 cm. Dorsally of porta hepatis there is also a Spigelian 

 lobe, the whole extension of which is about 10| cm. It has 

 a thin but broadly rounded processus papillaris, and towards 

 the right side it has a short free end. The situation of these 

 different parts is elucidated by the figure (fig. 4). 



If the figure and description above is compared with 

 Murie's figure and description it will be seen that the spe- 

 cimen on which the latter has been founded has had its right 

 central lobe somewhat more subdivided in the margin than 

 the present specimen. Nevertheless, the three fissures corre- 

 sponding to those mentioned above are easily identified being
