170 Dr. J. B. S. Jackson’s Dissections of a 
in man; apparently a partial obliteration of the ducts, and a 
collection of the secretion beyond. The hepatic duct opened 
directly into the dilated portion of the intestine, upon a little 
protuberance, half an inch before the rugous portion of the 
intestine began ; no dilatation. The pancreatic duct opened 
into the hepatic, not far from its termination. 
Spleen about 2 of an inch in diameter, and closely attached 
to the first cavity of the stomach, with three or four others of 
the size of peas scattered in the omentum at some distance. 
The lungs were fleshy to the feel, but much less so than in 
the globiceps ; air-cells quite as large as in man. The cricoid 
cartilage had been cut through in the removal of the organs, 
but from what remained, it appeared, as in the globiceps, not to 
close anteriorly. A dark red, firm body was found in the 
place of the thyroid gland, but this, too, had been cut across. 
In the bronchi were great numbers of thread-like worms, 
probably filariæ, and quite a collection were seen hanging from 
an open ulcer upon the inner surface of the stomach ; severa 
ascarides were also found free in the cavity of this last organ. 
~ Of the heart. The apex was well marked, and the structure 
not remarkable. Fossa ovalis rather deep, but foramen closed. 
Two vessels given off at the arch of the aorta close together, 
and a third a little way beyond. 
The festes, 3; inches long, and 1: inch wide, appeared 
much enlarged, or swollen, which probably was the case, 8 
the animal was killed during what is supposed to be the rutting 
season. Epididymis not separated from the gland, as in - 
globiceps and dolphin. Vasa deferentia tortuous at first, but 
straight for some distance before termination, whereas, accord- 
ing to G. Cuvier, they are tortuous, in the porpoise, aS far as 
the opening in the urethra ; opening separately upon the veru- 
montanum, which is moderately developed. Before termin?" 
ting they dilate, as above stated, measuring from four to five 
lines transversely, when cut open. Here again was an organ, 
similar to that above described in the globiceps, and which
