LEMUR MONGOZ. 31 



from thence it passes down between the flaps of the liver, and is seen 

 through its whole length, and, when got as low as the lower edge of 

 the liver, it turns up upon the posterior or concave side in a contorted 

 manner, becoming smaller and degenerating into the cystic duct, which 

 joins the hepatic duct at the vena porta? . There is a small hepatic duct 

 that enters the cystic before the large hepatic duct enters. The common 

 duct enters the duodenum about three inches from the pylorus. The 

 bile is very thick and of a yellow green. 



The pancreas is pretty small, not reaching so far as the spleen ; and 

 the small pancreas is smaller than in brutes, on account of the duodenum 

 being shorter ; but it is larger than the human or monkey, on account of 

 the duodenum being longer than in them. 



The spleen is as common in quadrupeds. 



The kidney is conglobate ; the right one was the highest. 



The external parts of generation were cut off before I examined these 

 parts. The proper vagina seems to be the only one ; it is very rugous. 

 These rugae may be divided into the large and the small ; the large runs 

 the whole length of the vagina, and the small are mostly about the 

 beginning of the vagina, and are more irregular and a little penniformed. 



The os tincse is pretty prominent, most so at the posterior lip. The 

 uterus is about as long as the vagina : it is very small at the neck, 

 becoming much larger where it is divided into two kinds of horns ; but 

 each of these horns is as large as the uterus before division ; and only 

 about one-third of the whole length of the litems, and they end in an 

 obtuse end which is rounded. These two horns are very near one 

 another, and are united in their whole length, having a little notch 

 above, like the heart as it is painted upon cards : all the inside of the 

 uterus and horns above the cervix was lined with a soft spongy or 

 pulpy coat. We had reason to suspect that she was beginning to be 

 pregnant, as she had taken the male some days before death. From 

 these two horns, which seem to be the common fundus uteri, passes out 

 the Fallopian tube [which runs] in the middle of the broad ligament ; 

 not upon the edge as in the human : however, it comes closer and closer, 

 and at last terminates upon the edge of this membrane, at the end 

 furthest from the uterus, which is indeed very short, not an inch long. 

 This edge answers to the capsule of the ovarium in other animals. 



The ovarium is a pretty thick roundish body attached to the uterus, 

 as much as in the human, by a doubling of the peritoneum, which is 

 pretty strong ; and the most distant end is attached to the membrane of 

 the Fallopian tube or broad ligament. 



The urinary bladder is pendulous, as in other brutes, and is connected 

 to the abdomen by a thin ligament that is perforated.
