- The dimensions of the stomach have been taken in as natural a condition

 mated to the pylorus than in the Cat. Meckel says (Anat. Comp. vol. viii. 

 pp. ()9i, fi95) that in the Puma the stomach is much more elongated and less 

 spheroidal than in the Cat, tlie Leopard being intermediate in tliese respects.
