tered the intestine, there being but one common terminatlon between 

 them. On tracing the pancreatic duct it was found issuing from 

 the middle of the right extremity of the gland, -vvhich latter was 

 somewhat irregular in shape, having each extreinity dhided into 

 t\vo cornua, and to the junction of the two right cornua the duct 

 was easily traced. The length of the pancreas was 24 inches. 



" The stomach was ovoid in form, the cardiac portion occupying 

 nearly one half of the visais, and the pyloric orifice being not more 

 than 4- an inch from the cardiac. The position of the pyloric vai ve 

 was marked by a deep indentation. The length of the stomach was 

 3 inches ; its diameter opposite the cardiac orifice, 2-į. 



" The spleen vvas attached by a loose fold of mesentery to the 

 middle of the greater curvature of the stomach, and was somewhat 

 triangular in shape. It vi^as 2^ inches in length, and 1-į in breadth 

 at the broadest part. 



" The duodenum was attached throughout by a mesenteric fold, 

 its diameter was about į, or nearly an inch. From the duodenum 

 the small intestines gradually diminished in diameter to the ileo- 

 colic valve, their diameter in the narrowest part being reduced to 

 ■į- an inch. The totai length of the small intestines was 3 feet 7 

 inches. The cacum was simple in figure, with a blunt apex, and 

 measured 2 inches in length. The large intestines measured 4-}- 

 inches. 



" The kidneys ^vere of the usual shape and exhibited no difFe- 

 rence in their respective situation, neither being placed higher than 

 the other. The membranous capsule was little adherent, and no 

 šuperficial vessels were observable. The papilla was single. The 

 length of each kidney was 2^ inches, the breadth į, and the thick- 

 ness į. The renal capsules appeared wanting. 



" The lungs were very irregularly divided, there being four lobes 

 on the right side and but one, -ttathout any fissure, on the left. 



" The rings of the trachea at its upper part formed nearly an en- 

 tire circle, which, as they proceeded downwards, became less and 

 less complete till, at the lower part, three-fourths only of the ring 

 was cartilage. The number of rings was tw'enty-one, but many 

 vi^ere so bifurcated at the lo\ver part as to render it doubtful whether 

 they should be counted as double or single. 



" The stemo-thyroid and stemo-hyoid museles were very strong 

 and distinct. The thyroid glands \vere found lying one on each side 

 of the first six rings of the trachea, and measured 4 of an inch in 

 length. 



" The mucous lining of the msophagus vi^as puckered into longitu- 

 dinal ruga throughout its vt^hole extent, except for the lašt -fths of 

 an inch, vvhere the ruga were transverse. 



" The length of the tongue from the epiglottis was 3 J inches, its 

 breadth į. Its apex vs^as flat and round, and the middle of the 

 anterior portion of its dorsuni or upper surface covered \vith retro- 

 verted papillcE, a line of fungiforni papillce occupying each side of tlic
