sented the šame appearances as in Das. Peba; but the latter part is 

 proportionally shorter, corresponding to the difference in the length 

 of the jaws. 



"Theliver and pancreas resembled those of Das. Peba. Thespleen 

 \vas broader and flatter.and asmall supernumerary spleen was lodged

"The subma.xillary glands are of the šame proportionate magnitude, 

 and have a similar bag appended to them as in the species before de- 

 scribed. The cyst is situated on the inner side of the anterior extie- 

 mity of the gland ; a similar provision exists to prevent regurgitation 

 of the saliva by the duetus inferentes, or those which pass from the 

 gland to the bag ; and the duetus eff'erens termirtates as in Das. Peba

"The organs of generation presented many circumstances worthy 

 of notice ; but I shall defer giving an account of them, until I have an 

 opportunity of examining them in the adult animal. There was, how- 

 ever, a peculiarity in the urinary bladder vvhich niay be noticed here. 

 The Urachus, instead of coming off .-is is usual from the summit of the 

 fundus, is continued from the middle of the anterior part of the bladder, 

 to vvhich point the remains of the umbilical arteries also converged. 

 A process of peritoneum is continued from this part and down the 

 middle line of the bladder belov? to the abdominal parietės in front of 

 the bladder. It is my intention to investigate this peculiarity in other 

 Edentata."
