The Stomach. 
In Genetta tigrina the stomach is much longer in proportion to its 
breadth than in the Cat. Its length, measured along its middle, is 
t Anat. Comp. vol. viii. p. 681. 
° The dimensions of the stomach haye been taken in as natural a condition 
as possible, the stomach not being inflated or greatly distended. Cuvier says 
(Legons d’Anat. Comp. vol. iv. 1"¢ partie, p. 88) the cardia is more approxi- 
mated to the pylorus than in the Cat. Meckel says (Anat. Comp. vol. viii. 
pp. 694, 695) that in the Puma the stomach is much more elongated and less 
spheroidal than in the Cat, the Leopard being intermediate in these respects.
