KILLED IN THE FRITH OF FORTH. 383 



substance between it and the ambient coat was no 

 where destroyed. The tumours, in general, were 

 about the size of a walnut ; and, from the laxness of 

 the cellular substance that appeared within them, 

 it was supposed that, in their natural state, they 

 might have formed rugae. The central coat of the 

 third stomach was similar in colour, but presented 

 neither eminences nor rugae ; and it seemed to be 

 continued without any change through the whole 

 of the last stomach, which was the least of the four, 

 and somewhat of a cylindrical form. Where it ter- 

 minated in the intestine, it was, with a moderate 

 inflation, about nine inches in circumference. 



The intestines were twenty-eight yards and a 

 half in length, and without a colon or caecum ; and, 

 with moderate dilatation, between four and five in- 

 ches in circumference. Neither they nor the sto- 

 machs contained any thing, but here and there a 



very small quantity of thin brownish matter. 

 A spleen was attached to the first stomach, on 



the left side, but not larger than the ordinary size 



of a human spleen. 



The omentum was large, and chiefly interposed 



between the stomachs and the intestines, a small 



portion only being found between the intestines and 



abdominal parietes. 



The pancreas was found stretching across from 



left to right, but extremely putrid, and every where 



blown up into cells by extricated air.
