There is a considerable degree of unit-unity in 

 the liver of this tiilu- of animals. In shape it 

 nearly ir-.'Mihlrs the human, hut is not M> thick 

 at the base, nor so sharp at the lower edge, and is 

 probably not so firm in its texture. The right 

 lobe is the largest and thickest, its falciform liga- 

 ment broad, and there is a la;. ire between

pylorus joins the hollow curve of the duodenum 

 along which it is continued, and adheres to that 

 intestine, its duct entering that of the liver near 

 the termination in the gut.

 to that order; but here I suspect that the order of 

 digestion is in some degree inverted. In both 

 the ruminants, and in this tribe, I think it must 

 be allowed that the first stomaeh is a reservoir. 

 In the ruminants the precise use of the set 

 ;;nd third stomachs is perhaps not known ; but di- 

 gestion is et i tainly carried on in the fourth ; 

 while in this tribe, I imagine, digestion is
