the first look to belong to two cycles. Between the seven large, 

 »primary», ones are, namely, in some loculi to be found lower »se- 

 eondary». folds, in some these are rudimentary while in others they 

 can hardly be traced. This makes the condition suspicious and another 

 interpretation might be tried. It could be possible that all folds, large 

 and small, amounting to 10 or 11. together represent primary folds 

 seme of which have been reduced more than the others. To judge 

 from the interspaces between the folds the first opinion seems to be more 

 readily upheld, but compare below the condition found in the foetus. 

 The broadest folds measure about 9 to 10 mm. The margins of the 

 folds especially of those next to the »Schlundrinne» are beset with 

 comparatively large recurved, and sharply pointed papillae. The lateral 

 sin-faces of the folds have more stout conical papilla?. The adjoining- 

 wide portion of the abomasus is provided with about ten longitudinal 

 folds which, however, in the fundus are partly branching and ana- 

 stomosing with each other in an irregular manner. The folds cease 

 4 5 cm. from the pylorus. They are as well few in number as also 

 low, seldom exceeding 2 1 /2 mm. in height. The limit between the 

 psalterium and the abomasus is quite sharp. The ventricle of Ceplm- 

 lophus ogilbyi (the »n'bindi» of the native hunters) differs in several 

 respects from that of the foregoing species. The transversal expansion 

 of the paunch is comparatively very considerable as the following 

 measurements indicate when compared with each other and those of 

 other ruminants. The distance from the cardia to the blind end of the 

 dorsi-sinistral sack is about 225 mm. and to the end of the ventri- 

 dextral ore about 2(H) mm., but the breadth across the fundus of both 

 sacks is not less than 290 mm. The ventridextral sack is the broader, 

 one being about 180 mm. across. Sulcus coronarius of that same sack 

 is well developed on both sides and defines the rather long and almost 

 cylindrical saccns accus which measures about 95 mm. in length and 

 85 mm. in basal diameter. On the left side there is also a trace of 

 a small Saccus ccecus of the dorsi-sinistral sack and the sulcus longitudi- 

 nalis is. unlike the condition found in the sheep, better defined in its 

 ventral branch. From this description may be concluded that the sulci 

 of the paunch in this animal are, on the whole, well developed and 

 much more so than in the preceding species. 



The shape of the reticulum differs from that of the »isello» therein 

 that its. towards the abomasus directed, blind sack is the thickest
