 Magnified 2^ diameters. The figure is slightly 

 diagrammatic ; the convolutions of the intes- 

 tine are represented as pulled apart, and for 

 clearness, as being less in diameter than the 

 magnification of the figure warrants. Their 

 exact relations are seen in the section repre- 

 sented in fig. 11.
