S.Cobbold, in hisarticle “Ruminantia,”’ in the Cyclopzedia of Anatomy 
and Physiology', where it is excellently figured, as it is also by the 
same author, although much less accurately, in the ‘Proceedings’ of 
this Society. I take the present opportunity of depicting its con- 
dition in Moschus, and have had placed side by side with it a 
drawing of the homologous gland in the Fallow Deer (Cervus dama), 
where it is comparatively smaller (figs. 1, 2). This gland is pro-

bably to be found in other members of the Order; but I regret that 
till quite recently, not haying had my attention specially called to it, 
I have not taken the opportunity of looking for it. In future I will 
do so, and will inform the Society of the results of my search*. I could 
find no Peyer’s patches. 
The liver was more elongate and not so deep as that figured by 
Prof. Flower. The gall-bladder was lodged in a shallow fossa, its 
fundus not nearly reaching the free margin of the organ. The cau- 
date lobe was lateral, and far from large. The spigelian lobe was 
absent—a fact which demonstrates, what specimens of Cephalophus 
pygmaeus and Camelopardalis giraffa had previously taught me, the

3 Since this paper was read I have examined the ileo-cxcal region of the 
colon in Alces machlis, where the gland is large and very much like that of the 
Giraffe—in Cervus virginianus, where itis oval, made up of shallow glands, and 
an inch long—and in Tragelaphus scriptus and Oryx beisa, where it agrees 
with that in C. wirginianus.
