186 MR. F. E. BEDDARD ON THE [ Feb. 16, 
the Pudu Deer (Pudua humilis), of which a specimen was 
dissected at the same time by Sir W. H. Flower for the purpose 
of comparing with JMoschus, a deer of about the same size, ‘“ the 
colon... . forms a very simple helicine coil, composed of two 
complete circles in one direction and of two in the other” *. 
It is not clear whether it is to be inferred that JJoschus agrees. 
In any case, Garrod describes the colic spiral as having three and 
a half double turns. This statement is approximately correct, as 
Text-fig. 15.

Czecum, colic helicine, and adjacent parts of the gut of Moschus moschiferus. 
p. Ansa paracecalis. Other lettering as in text-fig. 14. 
will be shown by the annexed figure (text-fig. 15), which gives 
the same number of coils as has the spiral of Antilocapra. The 
termination of the spiral, however, points downwards, in which 
Moschus disagrees with Antilocapra. Nevertheless, it belongs to 
the same series as that which commences with J/adoqua (see 
183). With regard to the ileo-cecal ligament I confirm 
Sir W. H. Flower that it is not attached up to the very end of the
