142 FLATE HI. 



A second shepherd G, is placed near the head of the lamb, 1', 

 and holds with his right hand the two fore legs and the right hind 

 legH. 



A third shepherd, I, holds with both hands the left hind leg of 

 the lamb K, and stretches it behind. 



The shepherd A, raises the skin of the left flank with the 

 thumb and fore finger of the left hand, and forms the fold L, at 

 an equal distance from the highest part of the haunch bone and 

 navel M. The shepherd G, lengthens the fold L, with the left 

 hand, quite to the place N, of the false ribs. The shepherd A, 

 cuts this fold with the knife B, and makes an incision, which 

 ought not to be more than an inch and an half long. 



Figure 2 represents the same lamb in the same situation, and 

 retained in the same situation by the shepherds as in figure I. 



The incision O, which had been made on this lamb seen at 

 A, is placed at an equal distance from the upper part B, of the 

 haunchbone, and from the navel C, and on the same line. 



Figure 3 represents the hand, A, of a shepherd introducing 

 his finger into the incision B, and searching for the ovaria of the 

 lamb, as soon as he has found them, he gently draws them out 

 with the parts to which they are attatched, the shepherd cuts ofl 

 the ovaria and puts back the other parts into the belly, and in fine 

 sews up th.e incision as mentioned in the llth chapter, pages 

 96, 97.
