ANATOMY OF THE STOMACH. 61 



" The stomach of the 7nale corresponded main- 

 ly with the above description. In the first cavity, 

 the cells on the left side extended fourteen inches ; 

 there were ten transverse septa, four and a half 

 to nine inches long, three fourths of an inch to 

 two inches apart, and intersected, though not 

 regularly, by short septa ; three or four of the 

 cells would probably have held eight or ten 

 ounces. The cells on the right side commenced 

 about opposite the middle of the large muscular 

 band, and were thirty-nine inches in extent ; thir- 

 teen transverse septa ; cells midway about three 

 inches wide and very shallow, but at each ex- 

 tremity much smaller. The muscular band was 

 twenty-two inches long, and midway one half 

 inch thick. Small curvature of the second cavity 

 eight and one half inches, and the large, ten 

 and one half; inner surface midway and trans- 

 versely, ten and one half inches ; twelve trans- 

 verse septa, more regular than in the female, the 

 two large ones which intersected them running 

 about half the length of the cavity ; cells would 

 have held from half an ounce to an ounce ; 

 small muscular band seventeen inches long, one 

 inch wide, and about two lines thick ; muscular 

 coat generally thick, and the fibres transverse, 

 being in the female mostly longitudinal. Third 

 cavity forty inches long. Measured transversely 

 at the left extremity, three inches, diminishing
