THE LIZARD. 161 



its two halves .displaced outwards : the alimentary canal is drawn out 

 to the animal's left ; the cloaca, with the urinary bladder and posterior 

 ends of the vasa deferentia, is removed, as also is the right corpus 

 adiposum. 



a. co, anterior cornu of hyoid : az, azygos, or cardinal vein : b.hy, 

 body of hyoid : c, caudal vein : c.ad, corpus adiposum : c.m, cceliaco- 

 mesenteric artery, the branches of which have no. reference letters, to 

 avoid confusing the figure, (see 159) : ca:, CEecum : cr, carotid artery : 

 d.ao, dorsal aorta: du, duodenum: e.ju, external jugular vein: ep, 

 epididymis : epg, epigastric vein :f.a, femoral artery :f.v, femoral vein : 

 g.b, gall-bladder: i.ju, internal jugular vein: il, ileum : i.m, inferior 

 mesenteric arteries : k, kidney : Lao, left aortic arch : Lau, left auricle : 

 lg, lungs: It; liver: m.co, middle cornu of hyoid: p. a, pulmonary 

 artery : pc, pericardium : p,co, posterior cornu of hyoid : pn, pancreas : 

 pi, pelvic vein \ pt.c, postcaval vein : pt.v, portal vein : p.v, pulmonary 

 vein: r, rectum : r.au, right auricle : r.h.a, right hepatic artery: sc, 

 sciatic vein : scLa, subclavian artery : scl.v, subclavian vein : spl, spleen : 

 st, stomach : s.v, sinus venosus : th, thyroid gland : tr, trachea : ts, 

 testis : v, ventricle. 



135. The gall-bladder (g.b), an ovoidal sac, situated at 

 the lower margin of the right lobe of the liver, and having, 

 in the fresh state, a green colour, due to the contained bile. 



136. The intestine (du, il), forming several coils in the 

 posterior third of the coelome. 



137. The corpora adiposa (c.ad}, paired masses of fat, 

 of somewhat semi-lunar shape, lying immediately in front 

 of the anterior boundary of the pelvis, between the peritoneal 

 and muscular layers of the body-wall. 



138. The epigastric or anterior abdominal vein 

 (epg), a median ventral vessel, running along the inner face 

 of the body wall, between the peritoneum and the rectus 

 abdominis : posteriorly it is formed by the union of two 

 pelvic veins (pi), which are attached to the inner borders 

 of the corpora adiposa and receive veins from them : 

 anteriorly the epigastric vein enters the left lobe of the liver 

 on its posterior face : two other abdominal veins bring blood 

 from the ventral body wall, and enter the liver on its ventral 

 face at about the junction of its right and left lobes.
