csecum is raised into a close network of wrinkled folds ; that of the 

 colon and rectum is similar, but the network is uut quiie so close.

Caecum and colon, from above, one sixth nat. size. 

 cce, CKCum ; col, loop of colon; il, ileum. 



The heart agreed with Poelniau's and Owen's descriptions ; both 

 the subclavians come off from the innominate ; and there is only one

 and I could find no trace of au os cordis. A ver\' good figure of the 

 heart is given in Poelman's paper. The external and internal iliacs 

 arise separately from the aorta. 



Each lung was imperfectly divided up into three lobes — a large 

 posterior and two smaller anterior ; and there was also a small azy- 

 gous lobe on the right side. This differs from Poelman's description 

 in that he states that in the right lung there is only one slight 

 division, and he does not mention the azygous lobe. 



The larynx corresponded with Poelman's description, showing the 

 double pair of pouches figured by him. 



The kidneys are not lobulated, and in longitudinal section show a 

 large extent of the cortical part as compared with the medullary. 

 The right was slightly longer and narrower than the left, the former 

 measuring 5"x25'', and the latter 4^"x2^". The adrenals are 

 elongated bodies about i" wide, extending from the front margin of 

 the kidney to the exit of the ureter. In section they show a yellow 

 cortical and a brownish medullary part. The bladder has a narrow
