epithelium through which ordinary fundus and pyloric glands open. 
The cardiac glands are restricted in distribution or absent. Specializa- 
tion is however manifested in the subdivision of the stomach by an 
external groove into right and left sacs connected on the outside by a 
broad tendinous band, and in the greatly increased thickness of the 
wall of the right or pyloric sac. There are no intermediate stages 
among the Edentata between 
‘this condition and the ex- 
tremely specialized stomachs 
of Manis and Bradypus (Fig. 
15, B). In Manis javanica 
(Fig. 16), according to Weber, 
gi, the whole stomach is lined 
by stratified epithelium. The 
fundus glands are not, how- 
ever, entirely destroyed but 
are confined to a small portion | 
of the greater curvature, 
where large compound glands 
which may be interpreted as 
evaginations of the mucous 
membrane occur. The car- 
diac and pyloric glands are 
represented by highly branch- 
ed glands occupying the re- 
gion around the large com- 
plex fundus gland above de- 
scribed, the lesser curvature 
and a portion of the pyloric 
region near the intestine.

bizarre form. The csophagus 
opens into a large chamber subdivided into three parts called by Klin- 
cowstrom, 95, the cardial stomachs (Cardiamigen), all of which are with- 
out glands. Into this opens a long-pointed sac (6) the mucous mem- 
brane of which is provided with cardiac glands. On the other side the 
organ is continued into the intestine by a narrow tube, divided into 
two parts. The first subdivision is occupied, though not completely, by 
fundus glands. Along the lesser curvature there is a groove lined by 
stratified epithelium and on the sides of the groove, the squamous epi-
