sistcd of five lobes. The anterioi* or cystic was the largest, and pre- 

 sented inferiorly two deep fissures, one of which (the left) received 

 the suspensory ligament, and the other the gall-bladder. The next 

 in size was the left lobe. To the inferior surface of the right lobe 

 two lobuli were appended. The concave surface of the liver was 

 very irregular in its aspect. The gall-bladder was pyriform, 1 inch 

 in length, and deeply buried in a fissure in the concavity of the 

 largest lobe of the liver. The bile entered the intestine 4- inch from 

 the pyloric ring. 



The pancreas , of an elongated form and running along the dorsal 

 aspect of the stomach across the spine, measured 2^ inches. 



The spleen weighed 54 drachms. It laid close to the spine, above 

 or anterior to the left kidney, and attached to the cardiac extre- 

 mity of the stomach. Its form was flat ovoid, with a deep^ossa on 

 its posterior margin lodging the anterior portion of the kidney. 



The lungs consisted of four lobes on the right side and of three on 

 the left. They nieasured 34- inches in length ; the breadth of the 

 right was InVj of the left, 1. They weighed (much diseased and 

 studded with tubercular masses) 2 oz. 6 drachms. 



The heart, of a globular shape, and very muscular, measurec^ l^j 

 inch in length, l^V in lateral breadth, and IxV in its antero-poste- 

 rior diameter. It was seated more in the left than in the right side 

 of the chest, lying on the cartilages of the second, third, fourth, 

 fifth, sixth, and seventh ribs, and on the corresponding portion of 

 the sternum. 



The vence cavce were one superior and one inferior. The aorta 

 gave oft" from the convexity of its arch one large trunk, which, after 

 running half an inch from the main artery, divided into an arteria 

 innominata, a left carotid, and a left subclavian. 



The trachea consisted of tw^enty-eight rings, each forming nearly 

 a complete circle. The superior cornu of the os hyoides was com- 

 posed of three parts. The upper opening of the larynx was cup- 

 shaped and patulous, owing to the prolongation of the arytenoid 

 cartilages. The rima glottidis was small and triangular. The bor- 

 ders of the epiglottis formed two sides of an equilateral triangle. 



The mucous membrane oi the pharynx presented numerous pro- 

 minent papilla. The tongue was 2-rV inches in length, and had nu- 

 merous very delicate papillce, which were scarcely visible to the 

 naked eye. 



The nostrils were contracted and very moveable. 



The pupil was oval, its long axis being placed horizontally. 



The suprarenal glands, each 1 inch in length, were of an oblong 

 shape and dingy yellow colour. They were situated close to the 

 sides of the bodies of the second and third lumbar vertebrce in con- 

 tact with the anterior extremity of the kidneys. 



Of the kidneys the left rested on the transverse processes of the 

 third, fourth, and fifth lumbar vertebrce ; the right was placed more 

 anteriorly, extending from the posterior margin of the last rib to
