as far as the first curve, after which they become chiefly transverse, 
and are much smaller. The pyloric orifice is circular, less than 
1 inch in diameter. The fourth stomach is about 15 inches long, 
and from 13 to 33 in diameter. 
The total length of the intestinal canal was 68 feet 93 inches, 
whereof the small intestines measured 50 feet 5 inches, and the 
great gut 18 feet 45 inches. The simple czecum was 15 inches long, 
and varied from 14 inch in diameter to 25 inches near its termi- 
nation. No ilio-czecal gland, as obtains in the Giraffe, was noticed 
in the Prongbuck.

The liver (fig. 4) is only of moderate size and thickness, and is 
somewhat flattened. It is mainly divided by an anterior marginal 
fissure into a larger right and smaller left lobe ; but there is also 
present a considerably elongated lobus caudatus and a very diminu- 
tive lobus spigelius. ‘he entire organ is remarkably free from notches 
or emarginations. 
The right lobe (2), fully 8 inches long by 4 broad, contains the 
gall-bladder (Gé.), and to the right of it the caudate lobe. The 
latter (C.) is irregularly tongue-shaped, flat, 43 inches long by 
about 1 inch broad, and lies across the right lobe, its tip overhang- 
ing the right free margin of the viscus. 
The lobus spigelius (Sp.) is represented by a very thin and small 
lappet or lobulus, placed near the transverse fissure, and immediately 
to the left of the left hepatic duct. 
The left lobe (LZ) occupies the remainder of the organ. Its di- 
mensions are 6 inches long by 4 across.
