THE ANATOMY OF THE BINTURONG. 157 
margin of the liver. The general contour of the lobes is even, with a 
few slight irregularities now and then. 
The spleen is long and thin; it is 6} inches long, ? inch across, 
tapering and rounded at the ends. 
The kidneys are smooth and reniform. 
Each lung is divided into distinct lobes, the left into three, and 
the right into four, the extra one on the right side (the azygos) being Page 200. 
behind and nearly in the middle line. 
The urinary bladder in this specimen was very much distended, and 
ascended a considerable way into the abdomen as a narrow pyriform 
sac. 
The testes were situated in the scrotum, which projected backwards 
from the greatly developed mass of perineal glands. Of these last- 
mentioned glands Dr. Cantor remarks :—“ Between the anus and 
penis is situated a large pyriform gland, exceeding 2 inches in length, 
partially divided by a deep naked fossa, commencing from the latter 
organ. The gland secretes a light-brown oily fluid, of a peculiar 
intense, but not fetid or sickening odour.” The deep cleft above 
mentioned is longitudinal; and it is over its naked approximated 
sides that the orifices of the numerous simple, pyriform, yellowish, 
translucent glands open. Each separate gland is about 4 or ¢ inch 
- long, and 2 inch across at its broadest part, near its base. The two Page 201. 
lateral aggregated collections of these glands make up the oval or 
nearly circular mass in front of the testes; and the raphe of the 
perineum runs at the bottom of the cleft between them. The penis, 
in its non-erect condition, does not project more than } inch beyond 
them. 
The prostate is present, but only forms a small glandular mass 
round the sides and inferior portion of the urethra. It is situated 
{ 334 inches from the base of the bladder, being simple, 4 inch broad, 
and 2 inch long. Cowper’s glands are situated 1} inch in front of it; 
they are oval, and each is ,5; inch broad and $ inch long. The testes 
measure 13 inch by 4 inch. There is no os penis. The glans 
penis is conical and pointed, 7 inch long, and presents round its 
base several small dark brown hard flattened papille, about 2, inch 
long. 
The vesicule seminales are absent. 
The anal glands are simple, globose, and thin-walled, about 4 inch 
in diameter; their orifices, one on each side, are extremely small. 
The brain presents the feline characters so clearly pointed out by 
Prof. Flower;* and, as in Felis, it differs from that of Viverra in
