CAPRA HIRCUS, 151 



choledochus about two inches from the entrance of that duct into the 

 duodenum. 



The right kidney is higher than the left; is situated before the 

 spine : they are but small, and have but one mammilla. The capsulse 

 renales are little oblong bodies" situated about an inch above the kidneys ; 

 when cut into they have much the appearance of a kidney, but the 

 inner part or substance is turned out, and vice versa ; for what answers 

 to the tubular substance is on the circumference, and is fibrous when 

 cut into or torn, all its fibres passing towards the centre, and it has the 

 colour of the tubular part of a kidney ; while that which answers to 

 the cortical part is in the middle. 



On the mesentery, nearer the root than the first passage of the colon, 

 is a lymphatic [lacteal] gland, making an angle in the shape of the edge 

 of the mesentery, almost extending from right to left. 



The erectores penis are very strong ; so are the acceleratores. From 

 the lower surface of the tail, just above the anus, arises a muscle which 

 divides into two portions, passing on each side of the anus ; they then 

 get to the angle between the bulb and erectores penis, thence pass 

 along the lower surface of the urethra, and seem to be lost insensibly 

 in the cellular membrane on the penis : this muscle seems to throw the 

 penis into wrinkles. The membranous part of the urethra is very long 

 and muscular. The coat of the penis is very thick and strong. The 

 corpus cavernosum is vastly thick, strong, and tendinous, and hardly 

 admitted air. There are four Cowper's glands, which are pretty large, 

 and their ducts enter the urethra on the loose edge of a large lacuna or 

 foramen caecum, which is situated just behind the bulb of the urethra. 

 There are no vesiculse seminales. The vasa deferentia become pretty 

 large at their termination, and seem there to be made up of two coats, 

 the external strong as in the human ; the internal a spongy soft mem- 

 brane 1 . There are two prostate glands, which are pretty large, one on 

 each side, almost placed like the vesiculse seminales in the human 

 subject. 



The male goat has an immense quantity of essential oil, which 

 appears to be secreted in the skin almost everywhere ; which, as it were, 

 oils the skin and hair, so that one cannot touch him but that the part 

 will be as it were impregnated with it. It smells very strongly, and is to 

 most very offensive.
