134 THE VISCERAL ANATOMY 
closely bound to the inner surface of the sublingual gland; and it 
opens far forwards, close to the frenum of the tongue, on either side 
of it. 
The sublingual gland weighs 2 oz., and is composed of several small 
portions which open separately, almost in one straight line, about half 
an inch apart, below the sides of the tongue, and parallel with the 
ramus of the jaw. The whole gland is about 6 inches long and 1 inch 
deep. 
The esophagus is thick and muscular, not of large calibre; it has 
the mucous membrane but loosely connected with the muscular parietes, 
and arranged in bold longitudinal folds. 
The stomach is of a very different shape from that of the Indian 
Rhinoceros as figured and described by Professor Owen, and in most. 
respects resembles that of the horse. It forms a broad tube much 
bent upon itself, with the cardiac and pyloric orifices approximated, 
and a deep and narrow interval between them, in which the main 
vessels. and nerves run, and across which the peritoneum extends. 
There is no definite constriction between the cardiac and pyloric por- 
tions of the viscus; but there is a peculiar diverticulum from the outer 
portion of the cardiac extremity, of a subconical form, in which the 
base of the cone is the attached end. The whole organ is therefore 
somewhat globose, with the above-mentioned cardiac cecum projecting 
_ to the left side.
