the ileum. It is 9 cm. long ; diameter at ileum 2'5 cm., expanding at 

 its extremity to about 3 cm. Its termination presents a tabulated 

 appearance. It has a mesentery of its own which is attached to the 

 part of the ileum next the caecum and contained a small blood vessel. 

 The great distance of its origin from the ileo-caecal junction may be 

 explained by the length of the small intestine, which was 29 feet 

 5 inches. The large intestine was 7 feet long. 



In the same subject there was an ascending mesocolon and the 

 duodenum came up to, but did not cross, the middle line. 



The attachment of the mesentery was confined to the right side 

 of the body.
