lodged deep in the right fissure, and the coronary ligament iii the 

 left; the left division is entire. The gall-bladder is large ; it had 

 an irregularly contracted surface. The duetus choledochus enters 

 the duodenum half an inch from the pyloms. 



"■ The ^ancreas has a singnlar forra. A tliick transverse port'ion 

 extends from the spleen behind the storaach to the pi/lorus ; it then 

 divides and forms a circle, which hes in the concavity of the great 

 curve of the duodenum ,• sending off one or two processes in the 

 mesoduodenum. 



" The spleen is a flatelongated body,four inches in length, about 

 an inch in breadth, \vith the margins irregularly notched ; one of 

 these is thicker than the other, so as to give it the appearance of a 

 three-sided body. Two large veins go from it to the vena portce ; 

 on inflating these, the whole substance rose and became turgid, ap- 

 pearing to be little else than a receptacle for venous blood. 



" The kidneys are small oval bodies, having the veins partly 

 ramifying on their exterior, as in the Civet, the Genette, and the 

 Cats. 



" The lungs have three lobes on the left side and four on the right, 

 oneof which lies in the mesial line behind and below the heart. This 

 single lobe, \vhich is very general in the Mammalia, has consider- 

 able analogy with \helobulus Spigelii of the liver. 



" The heart is oblong, \vith a round obtuse apex. The left 

 brachial veinjoins the superior cava ; the arch ofthe ao7-ta gives off 

 the two carotid arteries and the right brachial by a common trunk, 

 then the left brachial artery. 



•' The rings ofthe tTachea are regular and of uniform size, in- 

 complete behind, in number thirty-six. The arytenoid cartilages 

 have thin elevated apices. The sides ofthe epiglottis extend back- 

 wards as far as the cricoid cartilage, and it arches over the rimą 

 glottidis likę a penthouse or shed. The thyroid gland consists of 

 detached lobes lying belovv the larynx, in the interspace of the ceso- 

 phagus and tracheu. 



" The tongue measures one inch and eight lines ; it becomes 

 gradually thinner to the tip, which is neatly rounded. The horny 

 papilio; are principally collected in three groups, one near the apex, 

 and one on either side near the middle ofthe tongue. 



•' The cesophagus has longitudinal rugce internally. 



" The paris of generation shovved, by their vascular condition, 

 evident traces of recent excitement: this individuai, indeed, had 

 been observed to receive the advances ofthe malė ashort time pre- 

 vious to her death ; but there was no visible proof of impregnation 

 having taken place. The vagina had longitudinal rugce on its inner 

 Bspect ; the urethra opened close to the external aperture, nithin a 

 small fold of membrane, but vvithout any appearance oiclitorls. From 

 the os tinccE to the commencement of the cornua uteri was half an 

 inch ; the cornua were an inch in length; the fold of peritoneum, or 

 broad ligament, vvas continued from them as high as the upper part 

 of the kidueys. The fallopian tubes made a turn round the ovaries, 

 their extremities being closely attached to ihe capsules of these
