HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS. 181 



twenty-eight feet long, and six inches in diameter ; 

 the kidnies were a foot and a half in breadth: the 

 heart was a foot and a half long, and nearly the 

 same in breadth ; the liver, when measured from 

 right to left, was found to be three feet and a half 

 in breadth, and two feet and a half deep, as it hangs 

 in the animal's body when in a standing position : 

 it had no gall-bladder, in which it resembles the 

 Horse. Upon opening the stomach, the contents 

 of it were found to consist of roots and small 

 branches of trees masticated, some of which were 

 as big as the end of a man's finger; in the mass 

 there appeared a great quantity of succulent plants, 

 as well as some that were harsh and prickly : the 

 effluvium arising from this mass was so far from 

 being offensive, that it diffused around a very 

 strong and not disagreeable aromatic odour. We 

 shall conclude this account by observing, that the 

 cavity which contained the brains was small, being 

 only six inches long, and four high, and of an 

 oval shape : being filled with pease, it was found to 

 contain barely one quart; a human skull, measured 

 at the same time, did not require much less than 

 three pints to fill it.
