papille—first the filiform, small, thick-set, short and blunt over the 
anterior part of the organ, conical and larger in the middle of the in- 
termolar eminence, and secondly the fungiform, disk-shaped and 
flattened, scattered sparsely over the fore part, and at the sides of the 
intermolar eminence gradually enlarging and becoming arranged in a 
linear manner, converging as they run back to form the circumvallate 
papille, eleven on one side and twelve on the other. 
The salivary glands present no special features of interest. The 
tonsils open each by an orifice situated in the middle of a slight 
depression. ‘The epiglottis is rounded, with a slight notch in the 
middle line of its contour. 
The stomach possesses much the proportions of that of the Musk 
(Moschus moschiferus).* In the rumen perhaps the converging left 
lateral cecal extensions of the upper and lower compartments are 
slightly longer. The villi are there very close-set, elongated, flat- 
tened, and slender, with nearly parallel sides, the largest being slightly Page 762. 
spooned at their free ends. In most parts they are about a quarter of __ 
an inch long; bnt on the folds they are much shorter. Nowhere are 
they absent. They are all blunt-tipped and slightly crenulated along 
their margins. No trace of the special gland found by Prof. Flower 
on the anterior wall of the paunch of the Musk could be detected. 
Neither in Cervulus muntjac nor in C. reevesi are the villi of the ramen 
fattened, they being cylindrical. The cells of the reticulum are shallow 
and not large, covered with minute papille on their floors, and with a 
regularly arranged row on the top of each cell-wall. 
The psalterium resembles that of the ordinary Deer, and differs 
from that of Moschus in that the plice are unequal in length. There 
are thirteen folds of what may be termed the first power, because they 
are the deepest, between each two of which one of the second power is 
developed. On each side of each secondary fold is a tertiary, about 
a quarter of an inch deep; and, again, there is a longitudinal row of 
papillz on each side of each tertiary fold, which may be considered to 
be a rudimentary set of the fourth power. Such a psalterium may be 
called quadruplicate, because folds are present of four different depths. 
The stomach of Moschus would be simpliciplicate, were it not that 
there is a row of papilla developed between the plice in some parts; 
it is therefore duplicate upon the nomenclature here suggested.
