ON THE ANATOMT OF THE 



and colour of the whole viscus exactly resemble the 

 human. If we omit the small heart-shaped appen- 

 dix above mentioned, the liver of the Orang may 

 be said to consist of three lobes ; but, in the baboon, 

 we found the liver divided into four distinct por- 

 tions. 



The hepatic duct comes from each great lobe, by 

 a distinct branch. These two unite close to the li- 

 ver ; and, joining the cystic duct, form the ductus 

 communis, which penetrates the coats of the duode- 

 num by a very oblique opening. The spleen is si- 

 milarly situated to the human ; but it is much 

 thinner. 



The pancreas is about two inches long, whitish, 

 and uneven on its surface, and sends its duct to the 

 duodenum, near the entrance of the hepatic duct. 



Urinary Organs. 



The kidneys nearly resemble those organs in 

 man, having distinct cortical and uriniferous por- 

 tions, papillae, infundibula, and pelvis. Their form 

 is rather rounder, and the fissure at the entrance of 

 the vessel rather less deep. The glandulae renales 

 are large, and similar to the human. The bladder 

 is proportional in size ; but is rather more oval than 

 in man, and the ureters enter it rather nearer to its 

 cervix.
