inches long, enters the intestine about that distance below the accessory- 

 stomach. Pancreas 2 inches by 1, parallelogramic, with the angles 

 rounded off, its lower margin closely attached to the intestine, and 

 throwing off a small short duct which discharges the pancreatic juice 

 into the gut about \ inch above the opening of biliary duct. Spleen 

 5 inches by less 1, shaped like a manis' tongue. Kidneys 1^ inch by 

 f, and not lobulated internally as in the juniors. Uterus with very long 

 horns, each 2\ inch in length, and small round dark ovaries, each f 

 inch in diameter. Bladder 2\ inch, empty and collapsed. Intestines 

 8£ feet long, wide, gradually lessening in width from above downwards 

 from plus | inch to minus f inch, excepting the last half foot which is 

 1 inch wide. This last named portion of the intestines has its coats 

 remarkably thickened and furnished internally with longitudinal bands. 

 Elsewhere the intestinal canal shows no trace of bands or other pro- 

 cesses. Stomach empty and collapsed, 8-j inches along its greater, and 

 2\ along its lesser, arch, exclusive of the accessory stomach, which is 

 3 inches long and 1 \ inch wide. The true stomach is a hemisphere in 

 shape and is membranous, with thin equable coats and no internal bands 

 or folds. The accessory stomach is very thick and firm coated, elastic, 

 between muscle and gland, and has its inner surface marked with strong 

 longitudinal bands. The orifices of the true stomach are quite terminal, 

 and the false stomach commences at the pyloric or lower end of the 

 true one. 



Teeth f . yiy.-f'i , the deciduous premolars of the lower jaw being 

 forthcoming. Crowns of the molars not flattened, nor showing any 

 crusta petrosa, as was the case in the two very perfect but older speci- 

 mens from which my original description was taken. The crowns in 

 this sample are covered with enamel and furnished with numerous conic 

 tubercles, sufficiently salient but blunt. Cervical vertebras 7, dorsal 

 14, lumbar 6, sacral 3, caudal 18, all very satisfactorily ascertained, and 

 again compared with the skeleton of the juniors which shows beyond 

 a doubt 15 dorsals and 5 lumbars. Ribs 14, whereof 8 are true and 

 6 false. Sternal bones 7, cylindric. Forward process of the keel of 

 the scapula not cylindric as in the juniors, but flattened and having a 

 subordinate process arising from its base. These may be the acromion 

 and coracoid. At all events there are no other processes answering 

 thereto. Considering the very free action of the arm in Ailurus it is
