PACHYDERMES. 101 



lengthened, and is terminated by a narrow appen- 

 dage, which is folded under it, and finishes at the 

 pylorus. The internal membrane is all cleft, 

 indurated and granular in the two largest pouches, 

 and in the lengthened bowel, to the last valve, 

 it is smooth and plaited. In the narrow appen- 

 dage, it is not plaited, but the muscular membrane 

 is very thick, particularly round the pylorus. 



In the Pigs, the stomach is globular in form, 

 very ample, and surmounted by an appendage 

 iike a hood ; and in that singular little animal, 

 which naturalists have agreed to place here, the 

 Daman, or Hyrax Capensis, the stomach is sepa- 

 rated into two distinct pouches, by a central par- 

 tition, pierced with a hole in the centre. Each 

 pouch answers to the right and left division in 

 ordinary stomachs. The webs of the stomach are 

 moderately thick, becoming more so round the 

 pylorus, which is narrow and directed forwards.
