times the length of the animal, the colon 

 with the coecum a little more than one half the 

 length. 



Those parts that respect the nourishment of this 

 tribe do not all BO exactly correspond as in land ani- 

 mals ; for in these one in some degree leads to the 

 other. Thus the teeth in the ruminating trihe point 

 out the kind of stomach, coecum, and colon ; while 

 in others, as the Hor> , Lion, &c. the ap- 



pearances of the teeth only give us the kind of 

 colon and coecum ; hut in this tribe, wh< 

 teeth or no teeth, the stomachs do not vary much, 

 nor docs the circumstance of the coecum seem to 

 depend on either teeth or stomach. The circum- 

 stances by which from the form of one pait \ve 

 jinl^c what others are, fail us here; hut this 



from not knowing all the circun; 

 The stomach, in all that I have examined, con- 

 sists of several hags, continued from the first on 

 the left, towards the right, where the last ter- 

 minates in the duodenum. The numher is not the 

 same in all; for in the Porpoise, (irampui, and 

 Piked \Vhalc, there are live; in the Iiottlc-n0tf 

 i. Their size respecting one another differ* 

 very considerably, so that the largest in one spe 

 cie may in another be only the second. The 

 t\\o first in the Porpoise, Bottle-nose, and Piked 

 U hale, are by much the largest; the others are 

 smaller, though irregularly so. 



The first stomach lias, I believe, in all very 

 much the shape of an egg, with the small cad
