 times it is quite imperceptible. 



The relative position of the ducts of the chylopoietic 

 glands, as viewed from behind in the emys europaa, is seen

represent the elongated stomach, c. d. the small intestine, 

 e.f. the coecum and colon, g. the gall-bladder opening by 

 two ducts into the duodenum h. one of which ducts receives 

 the hepatic and may be considered as its continuation. The 

 pancreas (i.) intimately connected with the stomach, the 

 duodenum and the colon, opens by three separate ducts 

 (u. u.) into the duodenum, and has the spleen (k.) compactly 

 united to its inferior lobe. The gastro-epiploic (q.) the 

 coeliac (?*.), and the mesenteric (/.) arteries ramify as indicated, 

 the upper lobe of the pancreas receiving the pancreatic artery 

 from the coeliac, and the inferior lobe receiving branches from
