no 



its fibres remarkably strong ; the internal oblique gave off a strong 

 cremaster, which ran down the spermatic cord as far as the testis. 



" The transversalis as usual. 



" The first head of the triceps adductor femoris was connected by 

 a slip of fibres to the external apex of the triangular base of the 

 marsupial bone, giving to that bone, by its contraction, a slight ex- 

 ternal motion. 



"The panniculus carnosus was very strong, especially over the 

 back and sides. 



" The capacity of the thorax was very small in comparison with 

 that of the abdomen. 



" The stomach occupied the left side of the abdominal cavity, 

 scarcely passing the mesial line ; its pyloric portion bent down 

 abruptly, forming a narrow arch through which protruded the lo- 

 bulus Spigelii of the liver. 



" The liver consisted of two equal parts, a right and left, both 

 closely attached by membranous (or peritoneal) processes to the 

 diaphragm; the ligamentum latum verged towards the left side. The 

 right portion of the liver was divided into three foliaceous lobes, the 

 left into two : the free edges of this viscus were deeply and abruptly 

 fissured, as if cut with a knife ; and its under surface presented an 

 irregular congeries of small lobuli or appendages, clustered thickly 

 together ; on the left side, the outer lobe of the liver passed com- 

 pletely behind or dorsad of the stomach, the cardiac portion of which 

 advanced as low as the left kidney. The outer lobe of the liver on 

 the right side advanced in a pointed form, and passed behind the 

 whole of the dorsal surface of the right kidney. The great mass 

 of the liver had, in fact, a dorsad position, the anterior portion being 

 comparatively very trifling. 



" The gall-bladder was seated in the fissure between the first and 

 second lobes, reckoning from the right side ; it was very large, but 

 empty. Of great width at its base, it narrowed gradually to an al- 

 most vermiform apex, and its total length was 3| inches. Its duct, 

 of considerable calibre, terminated exactly one inch below the py- 

 lorus. 



" The spleen was long, thin, and tongue-shaped ; it lay loosely 

 adhering to the cardium; its greatest breadth was |- an inch, its 

 length, 2 1 inches; its edges were very thin and slightly crenulated. 



" The pancreas presented a thin, flat portion, attached to the 

 spleen, whence ran a broad slip attached to the peritoneal reflection 

 at the back of the stomach, and advancing round to the duodenum. 

 Its duct joined that of the gall-bladder | of an inch firom its inser- 

 tion. 



" The stomach was divided by a contraction, into two distinct 

 portions ; of these, the cardiac was large and almost globular, its 

 breadth across being 2, its length across 2^ inches; itsparietes were 

 much thinner than those of the pyloric portion, which, as we stated, 

 bent down abruptly, so as to form a narrow arch. The breadth of 

 the pylorus at its commencement, was little more than an inch, but 

 it swelled out into a saccnlus, whence it narrowed to the pyloric
