canal, at that point at which it receives the urino- 

 genital ducts. 



Examine its lining membrane ; it is for the most 

 part identical with that of the large intestine ; that 

 of its terminal third has the characters of the inte- 

 gument. 



h. The ureters {tirmoge?tttal dtcds ^. Cf. Sect. F. 3); 

 their openings will be seen as two minute orifices, 

 on the dorsal wall of a., situated close together and 

 surrounded by tumid lips. 



c. The bladder; a median ventral diverticulum of ^., 

 having no direct communication with the ureters. 



E. The cavity of the mouth and the respiratory organs. 



I. Use the specimen dissected above. Cut the ali- 

 mentary canal across immediately in front of the 

 liver, and retain the anterior portion. Pin down 

 under water ventral surface uppermost ; enlarge the 

 mouth opening by cutting through the sides of the 

 buccal cavity with a pair of scissors : pull down the 

 lower jaw and pin it back. 



a. The two internal openings of the nasal cavities 

 {posterior nares); near the anterior end of the roof 

 of the mouth. 



b. The openings of the Eustachian recesses ; situated 

 far back near the angles of the jaw. 



c. The teeth; confined to the upper jaw and roof of 

 the mouth. 



a. The ^naxillary teeth; forming a parallel series, 

 set along the inner face of the whole upper jaw.
