marked internal folds near the pyloric extremity, which stop sud- 
denly at a point where the stomach makes an abrupt constriction 
and flexure. Beyond this point there are three other longitudinal 
folds; and the prloric valve is 
small. The allied genera present 
modifications from this form of 
stomach. The cecum (Fig.
