times as long as they were broad, well defined, and raised prominently on the mucous 

 membrane (vide fig. 44, P.gl). The second sort (fig. 45) were found further on in the 

 intestine, and existed as elongate narrow strips, one half to three quarters of an inch 

 broad, and placed between the parallel pairs of longitudinal folds.

The haste necessitated by the disagreeable stench which arose on the abdomen being 

 opened did not allow of full detail or study of the relative position of the viscera being 

 made; but the relation of parts was thus noted. The liver occupied the interspace 

 between the diaphragm, the second and fourth stomachs, and the duodenal flexure. 

 The omentum was thin and contained little fat, and only partially covered the intestines. 

 Its visceral attachment was in a semicuxular manner across the middle of the first 

 gastric cavity, and slightly over the upper part of the spleen and lower anterior or 

 ventral margin of the pancreas. From the first stomach on the left side it passed on to 

 the lower curvature of the second, proceeding across to the right side along the lower 

 margins of the third and fourth gastric divisions, thence to the duodenum and upper 

 gut (dotted line, fig. 33). The second and third lay nearly across the cardiac end of 

 the fii'st stomach. The intestinal loops appeared to fill the remainder of the abdominal 

 cavity, hiding all other parts, and even portions of the stomachs themselves.
