measured eight feet; the large, one foot and an inch, the cecum 
being two inches long, rounded at the end, and slightly turned to the 
left side apically. It is figured in the accompanying sketch. 
In three other specimens, not adult, the following were the 
intestinal lengths :— 
9, half-grown. , a mouth old. | 9, a month old. 
Small intestine.......... 4°25 feet. 5°75 feet. 7 ‘3 feet.

There is evidently not much constancy in the length of the viscera,
