structure ; and it is the more interesting as something of the 
kind was found in the globiceps. Sir E. Home has described 
and figured (Phil. Trans. 1807) the stomach of the very 
species (D. delphis, L.) which the present individual most 
nearly resembles externally, and the first cavity is continuous 
and uniform, as usual in the cetaceans. The third cavity (c); 
generally described as the second, is 2 inches by 1 inch, curved 
upon itself, and communicates freely with the first; in the 
recent state it felt very thick and fleshy, and now strongly 
marked rug: are seen upon the inner surface, giving it some- 
what of a coarse honeycomb structure. The fourth, not seen 
in the figure, is a small, rounded cavity, about 1 inch in diam- 
eter, and resembles the intestine in structure now that it 18 
dried ; its communication with the third is not two lines distant 
from that between the first and third cavities ; in some of the 
cetacea this small cavity is said not to appear externally. 
The fifth cavity (d) is about 3} inches in length, somewhat 
dilated at first, but towards the further extremity about four 
lines in diameter; it is very strongly bent upon itself, and in 
structure resembles the fourth. Between the third and f 
cavities, the fourth and fifth, the fifth and the sixth, as many 
would have it, there is stretched a thin transverse septum, pe™ 
forated by a very small opening. : 
'The intestine was 20 feet 8 inches in length, or about ws 
and a half times that of the animal, whereas it should be eleven 
or twelve times, according to Fred. Cuvier (Cet. P 89? 
G. Cuvier does not give the length in the dolphin or papa”; 
but merely remarks upon it as “ passablement long.” Just at 
its commencement it is considerably dilated, and measures In 
the dried specimen (e) 1 inch in diameter; this is 8 E 
described as an additional cavity of the stomach (as above 
stated,) but, in the present ease, from the gradual diminution 
of size and the absence of anything like an abrupt curve, such 
as was noticed in the whale, it is impossible to regard it other- 
wise than as part of the intestine; the con i ipm |
