lodged deep in the right fissure, and the coronary ligament in the 

 left; the left division is entire. The gall-bladder is large j it had 

 an irregularly contracted surface. The ductus choledochus enters 

 the duodenum half an inch from the pylorus. 



" The pancreas has a singular form. A thick transverse portion 

 extends from the spleen behind the stomach to the pjjlorus ; it then 

 divides and forms a circle, which lies in the concavity of the great 

 curve of the duodenum; sending off" one or two processes in the 

 tnesoduodoium. 



" The spleen is a flat elongated body, four inches in length, about 

 an inch in breadth, with the margins irregularly notched ; one of 

 these is thicker than the other, so as to give it the appearance of a 

 three-sided body. Two large veins go from it to the vena partes ; 

 on inflating these, the whole substance rose and became turgid, ap- 

 pearing to be little else than a receptacle for venous blood. 



" The kidneys are small oval bodies, having the veins partly 

 ramifying on their exterior, as in the Civet, the Genette, and the 

 Cats. 



" The lungs have three lobes on the left side and four on the right, 

 one of which lies in the mesial line behind and below the heart. This 

 single lobe, which is very general in the Mammalia, has consider- 

 able analogy with the lobulus Spigelii of the liver. 



'•' The heart is oblong, with a round obtuse apex. The left 

 brachial vein joins the superior cava; the arch of the ao7'ta gives off" 

 the two carotid arteries and the right brachial by a common trunk, 

 then the left brachial artery. 



" The rings of the trachea are regular and of uniform size, in- 

 complete behind, in number thirty-six. The arytenoid cartilages 

 have thin elevated apices. The sides of the epiglottis extend back- 

 wards as far as the cricoid cartilage, and it arches over the 7-ima 

 glottidis like a penthouse or shed. The thyroid gland consists of 

 detached lobes lying below the larynx, in the interspace of the ceso- 

 p/tagus and trachea. 



" The tongue measures one inch and eight lines ; it becomes 

 gradually thinner to the tip, which is neatly rounded. The horny 

 papillcc are principally collected in three groups, one near the ajyex, 

 and one on either side near the middle of the tongue, 



" The ccsophagus has longitudinal rugcB internally. 



" The parts of generation showed, by their vascular condition, 

 evident traces of recent excitement: this individual, indeed, had 

 been observed to receive the advances of the male a short time pre- 

 vious to her death ; but there was no visible proof of impregnation 

 having taken place. The vagina had longitudinal rugce on its inner 

 aspect ; the urethra opened close to the external aperture, within a 

 sn)all fold of membrane, but without any appearance of clitoris. From 

 the OS tincce to the commencement of the cornua uteri was half an 

 inch ; the cornua were an inch in length; the fold of peritoneum, or 

 broad ligament, was continued from them as high as the upper part 

 of the kidneys. The fallopian tubes made a turn round the ovaries, 

 their extremities being closely attached to the capsules of these
