inflated, was 13 inches in circumference. The stomachs were four ; 
the first the largest, and which, with the last part of the oesophagus, 
was lined with a thick white coat, similar to that which is found 
lining the cardiac extremity in the stomach of a horse. The intes- 
tines were 281 yards in length, and without either a colon or 
coecum: their circumference, when moderately inflated, between 
four and five inches. The spleen was attached to the first stomach, 
and not larger than an ordinary human spleen. The omentum lay 
chiefly between the stomachs. The liver was almost reduced toa 
jelly by putrefaction. The gall bladder was sought for, but not 
found, ‘The pancreas was observed stretching from left to right, and 
every where blowa up into large cells by extricated air. The kidneys, 
enveloped in a large and liquid mass of putrefaction, were inadver- 
tently overlooked. 
The testicles were situated near the anus, resting upon the sides 
of the intestine. ‘The penis was without bone, and retracted into a 
sigmoid flexure by two muscles, 
The heart presented nothing that was singular in its appearance, 
The aorta in cireumference was 71 inches where measured over the 
valves, 13 at the arch, and six where it rested on the vertebral 
column. The pulmonic artery over the valves was 11 inches in 
circumference, and immediately beyond the valves 91. 
The os hyoides consisted of four bones. The larynx of five car- 
tilages, of which the epiglottis and the two arytenoids formed a tubes 
of some inches in length, that pointed towards the blow-holes, 
‘The trachea was composed of cartilaginous rings; but its branches, 
so far as they were traced in the lungs, of osseous rings. There 
were uo front teethin the upper jaw; and, like what occurs in 
some other animals with four stomachs, there was here a large 
branch sent off from the trachea before its division into two equal 
parts, The lungs on the right and left side were without lobes, and 
without adhesion. ‘The skeleton of the head resembled that ofa 
porpesse, but in this animal was very unlike the shape of the head 
when covered with the fat muscles and integuments, The vertebrae 
were easily distinguished into cervical, dorsal, lumbar, and caudal. 
The cervical were seven, the dorsal 11, the lumbar 13. There 
were no stemal cartilages, but stemal ribs, as in birds. The true 
ribs were six; the false five; and the last three of these articulated 
only with the extremities of the transverse processes. There was no 
pelvis nor sacral extremities; ro clavicles, but large scapule. The 
other parts of the atlantal extremities, and a few of the distal 
caudal vertebra, were removed with the integuments, and carried 
to the tanpit. 
The brain was putrid; the spinal marrow proportionally small, 
the vertebral tube being chiefly filled up with a vascular plexus on 
each side, enclosed in an elastic cellular membrane. The eyes not so 
large as the human. The tongue, if an organ of taste, was so far 
back in the mouth that an object must have been half swallowed 
before it could be tasted, The blow-holes seemed rather organs of
