The Fairy. 



The situation of the stomach is as common. The shape, &c. is seen 

 in the preparation 2 . 



The duodenum is loose, having a mesoduodenum as it passes hehind 

 the mesentery ; it is fixed to it. The csecuin is on the right side (see 

 the shape of it in the preparation, with the whole colon and almost all 

 the rectum) 3 . 



The liver is divided into five lobes : the left is the largest ; the gall- 

 bladder-lobe is the next in size ; the second on the right is the smallest, 

 excepting the lobulus Spigelii, which is very small. The spleen is as in 

 a dog. The epiploon adheres to the stomach, spleen, and colon. 



The kidneys as in a dog. The urinary bladder is oblong and loose as 

 in the brute. The penis is covered by the prepuce ; but this prepuce 

 does not he along the belly as in a dog, but points out from the belly, 

 and is a little projecting at the orifice. The penis is very short, and 

 has a bone almost its whole length: the bone is the most projecting 

 part of the glans, and the urethra terminates about the sixteenth of an 

 inch from the termination of the bone. The membranous part of the 

 urethra is short and pretty close to the crura penis. 



The prostatic glands are two, [or the gland is cleft] at the basis, like 

 the heart on playing cards. The vesiculae seminales are two bags of 

 a pyramidal figure, rugous on the inside like the human vagina, thick 

 in their coats, filled with a brownish mucus, and have hardly any 

 length of duct, as they end in a point which opens on the root of the 

 caput gallinaginis. The vasa deferentia open on the points of the caput 

 galhnaginis, so that they do not communicate. The preparation 4 has 

 four bristles with it, one in the whole length of the urethra going across 

 the vagina, into the bladder ; one into the duct of the bags with the 

 butt end out, and two in the vasa deferentia with their roots out. 



This animal is of the sloth-kind, which is some degrees from the 

 monkey, mocock, mongoose, and the sanguine. It hardly retains any of 

 the monkey, excepting the hands and feet. The viscera have but little 

 of the monkey in them. The duodenum is not so long as in many 

 animals, and the colon and caecum are rather larger than in some 

 brutes.
