The series exhibited illustrates the development and the com- 
parative morphology of the ileo-colic junction, cecum and vermi- 
form appendix, and the arrangement of the investing peritoneum. 
The peritoneal relations of the adult human czecum and appendix 
present a number of variations, which are important factors in 
determining the position and arrangement of the structures. 
The peritoneal folds connecting the terminal ileum with the 
czecum and appendix are usually fused with each other and with 
adjacent serous surfaces in the adult human subject and in the 
anthropoid apes in such a manner as to render their correct inter- 
pretation a difficult matter, which can only be properly elucidated 
by reference to the development of the parts, and by comparison 
with the similar structures in lower forms. The details and re- 
sults of a research based in part on the preparations exhibited 
are given in a publication entitled ‘“‘ Studies in the Development 
of the Alimentary Canal. I. Caecum and Vermiform Appendix.”

REPTILES. 
In Fishes there is rarely a separation between the small and 
large intestine. The entire canal is short, provided in 
some forms (Sharks) with a spiral valve for the purpose of
