424 ON THE ANATOMY OF 
There are one or two minor lobules so situated as to develop a 
spurious cystic fossa; and what is still further interesting is, that 
in that fossa there is a white fibrous cord which runs from the trans- 
verse fissure nearly to the ventral margin of the abdominal surface of 
the right lobe, exactly in the situation of a gall-bladder. Once pre- 
viously in a Deer (Cervus virginianus, I believe) have I seen a similarly 
situated fibrous cord, which I can hardly believe to be any thing else 
than an atrophied gall-bladder, although I was not able to trace its 
connection with the bile-duct on account of the bad state of preserva- 
tion of the specimen. 
The Spigelian lobe is proportionally well developed, being tongue- 
shaped (or rusiform) as in the genus Rusa. The caudate lobe is of 
fair size. The umbilical fissure is shallow, the left hepatic lobe being 
slightly smaller than the right, both being of a square shape. 
The intestines measure 9 feet 8 inches, the small intestines 74 
feet long, the large 2 feet 2 inches. The cecum is 14 inch long. 
No trace is visible of an ileo-cecal gland. There are 24 colic coils, 
there being an irregular reversed half-loop in the returning portion of . 
the spiral. 
In the bicorn uterus of this new-born animal the cotyledonary 
papille are as manifest as in that of the pregnant adult. There are 
four in one cornu and three in the other, the highest of these in the 
latter being particularly large. I have, in my paper on the visceral | 
anatomy of the Ruminantia (‘‘ Proceedings of the Zoological Society,” 
1877, p. 12),* mentioned thatin a pregnant uterus of Hydropotes, which 
was lent me kindly by Mr. Ewart, of University College, there were 
three cotyledons in one cornu and five in the other, which agrees very 
closely with the specimen under consideration. 
The brain is very much like that of the Pudu Deer (Cervus pudu) 
figured by Professor Flower,t mainly differing in that the hippocampal 
gyrus is much less conspicuous upon the superior aspect. It is con- 
siderably more convoluted than that of Moschus moschiferus, upon the 
typical Ruminant pattern. I take the opportunity of figuring it (vide 
fig. 2, p. 425) from above. 
Reviewing the above-described anatomical features, the differences 
between the visceral anatomy of Hydropotes inermis and Moschus mos- 
chiferus clearly indicate the slightness of their relationship. In the 
former we find a fairly convoluted brain, a quadruplicate psalterium 
with 10 primary lamine, no ileo-cecal gland, no gall-bladder, two and 
a half colic coils, and an oligocotyledontophorous uterus ; whilst in the 
latter the brain is comparatively smooth, the psalterium is duplicipli- 
cate, with 20 or so primary laminew, a large ileo-cecal gland, a gall-
