fore somewhat globose, with the above-mentioned cardiac cjecum 

 projecting to the left side. 



Stomach of C. su/matrensis (inferior or parietal surface). 



ces, termination of oesophagus ; pi/, commencing duodenum, just beyond 



pylorus. 



With regard to the size of the stomach, the greater curvature is 

 62 inches in length, and the lesser 6 inches ; the greatest breadth 

 from side to side, including the cardiac diverticulum, is 26 inches ; 

 the greatest depth is 1 8 inches ; and the length of the diverticulum 

 is 1 1 inches, while it is 5 \ inches in diameter. The diameter of the 

 undistended oesophagus where it enters the stomach is 2 inches, and 

 of the commencing duodenum 1| inch. There is not a trace of 

 enlargement of the duodenum at its pyloric end, like the considerable 

 dilatation in the Indian species. A large portion of the pyloric 

 portion of the stomach is situated beyond, or to the right of, the 

 pylorus itself; but it is only a direct continuation of the cavity of 

 the viscus, and hardly forms a true cul-de-sac. The great omentum, 

 which does not cover the intestines, is of considerable size ; it 

 contains no fat, and is not in any way attached to the colon, but 

 runs up, behind the stomach, free to the vertebral column. 



The interior of the stomach presents a similar condition to that 

 found in the Tapir and Horse, the mucous membrane being of 

 entirely different characters in the cardiac and pyloric portions. 

 That in the cardiac end, and in its diverticulum, is much plicated in 

 all directions, and has a white opaque appearance ; while the pyloric 

 portion is covered with a thick and apparently smooth mucous
