The dorsal and ventral masses are separated from each other by the interposed 

 fascia. In the superior dorsal mass there are three rows of cones lying side by 

 side. The apices of the inner row are directed posteriorly, those of the next row 

 anteriorly , those of the third row posteriorly. The direction of the apices of the 

 rows of the inferior mass is exactly opposite to those in the superior mass; the 

 cones are much smaller. In the other Amphibia the inferior mass is a part of 

 the stratum forming the transversalis abdominis. In Amphiuma the transversalis 

 sends its terminal fascia dorsalward to this mass. The same structure is present 

 in the Alligator and Hatter ia.

The right renal-portal vein did not enter the kidney, but passed its anterior 

 border and became continuous with the postcaval. There was no afferent vessel, 

 and only two small efferent vessels. The left renal-portal gave off a number of 

 afferent vessels to the kidney ; its anterior end was continued as a small vessel 

 passing across the ventral surface of the kidney and entering the postcaval.

Rana. ha. sola respirazione polmonare ha una vera importanza per la conser- 

 vazione della vita. La cavità buccale e faringea rappresenta un vestibolo respirato- 

 rio. Per mezzo dei movimenti ioidei una rana spolmonata può vivere a lungo. Gli 

 effetti dell'asfissia possono esser tolti per mezzo della respirazione artificiale.

V. supra p. 97. — [Geotriton). Anche nelle uova di Anfibi urodeli si può veri-

 quello che si osserva in alcuni mammiferi (Crety).
