upper part of the small intestine are long, delicate, and close-set. In

anus; and thenceforth the mucous membrane is smooth, though 
thrown iuto longitudinal rugee. There are only three distinct Peyer’s 
patches, all nearly circular: the first, 7 inch in diameter, is 18 inches 
below the pylorus, the second, about twice the size, 39 inches from 
the pylorus, and the third, as small as the first, 13 inches lower. 
The liver (figs. 7 & 8) consists of three main divisions :—1. The 
left lobe (Z) is simple, flattened, with a thin free border, notched in 
several places, and a rounded outline ; on its inferior surface, close to 
the transverse fissure, is a small tongue-shaped accessory lobule (a), of 
which there was no trace in Proteles (P.Z.S.1869,p.489)*, and above 
this a deep straight horizontal fissure an inchin length. 2. The middle
