entirely by a large, apparently globose viscus, which is the ventral 

 wall of the csecum : anteriorly to this, in the umbilical region, is 

 seen a very capacious and sacculated tube, running nearly transversely 

 and a little backwards as it tends to the left side ; this is the posterior 

 moiety of the enormous loop of the first part of the colon (ascending

When the intestines are removed from the abdomen, the following 

 disposition of the viscera is observed. From the huge subglobose
