The lungs consisted of three right and two left lobes. The 

 heart was round, and firm in texture, the left ventricle being very 

 stout ; the apex exhibited a slight tendency to a bifid figure. The 

 aorta at its arch sent ofF first an nrteria innominata, which divided 

 into a right subclavian, and a right and a left carotid ; then secondly, 

 at a ąuarter of an inch further, a left subclavian, in an undivided 

 condition. 



The thyroid glands -vvere very small. 



The tongue was 3^ inches long, fleshy, rounded at the tip ; the 

 upper surface villose, \vith fine close hairy papillce ; at its base were 

 numerous, large, mucous foUicles. 



The j)harynx -vvas funnel-shaped and prolonged ; the cesophagial 

 orifice being at the root of the epiglottis, and about large enough to 

 admit a common black lead pencil. The oesophagus wa8 longitudinally 

 corrugated internally. 



The epiglottis was deeply notched, and •vvith patulous and slightly 

 curled edges. 



The arytenoid cartilages were prolonged. 



The upper corner of the os hyoides consisted of three portions. 



The sublingual glands were about the size of a nutmeg, or scarcely 

 80 large ; the rings of the trachea (of course imperfect,) amounted 

 to 33. 



The clavicles were imperfect, 1| inch in length, and united to 

 the sternum by a cartilaginous continuation nearly an inch long. 



The generative organs agreed closely with those of the Acouchi. 

 The epididymis appeared extemally through the abdominal ring, en- 

 veloped in a cremaster, to whicli both the internal obliąue and the 

 transversalis museles appeared to contribute. The penis \vas retro- 

 verted at the pubes, and before the skin r f the body ■was taken ofF, 

 \vas invisible, being completely retracted within the preputial fold. 

 At the angle which it makes on the pubes, where it is retroverted, 

 there is spread a slip of fibres from the extemal obliąue. 



The length of the penis, from the pubes to the extremity of the 

 glans, was 2^ inches ; the extreme portion for 1^ inch enclosed an 

 osseous stylet. The apex of the glans and its subseąuent portion 

 for an inch on the under surface were covered with close-set minute 

 horny pnpillte directed backwards ; and along the dorsum ■vvas a 

 double ro\v of retroverted sharp horny points, each point decreasing 

 from the first to the lašt ; the number in each row being five. Its 

 extremity was bifid, the orifice entering into a cavity, •vvhence ante- 

 riorly issued the urethra, ■vvhich, posteriorly, was continued into a 

 rugous canal of considerable depth, having at the bottom two pointed 

 osseous spurs, which are capable of being protruded. 



The length of the penis, from the apex of the glans to the bulb, 

 was four inches. The length of the membranous part, two inches. 



The testes lay within the abdominal ring; they were oval in form, 

 and lį inch long. The epididymis, on laying open the muscular sac, 

 was seen to consist of an assemblage of contorted tubes, from which 

 emerged the vas deferens ; the length of this, to its entrance at the 

 base of the vesiculce seminales, being 5^ inches. The vesicula semi'
