The Epiploon partly cover’d the firfl Ventricle, but 
was no Way s, p ropo rt ionable to the Size of the Animal. 
The Spleen was fatten’d, by a Membrane, to the right 
Side of the fecond Ventricle, and was very fmall, con- 
fidering the Size of the Animal. 
The Glands of the Mefentery were hardly vifible, 
but the Veins and Arteries very confpicuous.

The Liver was in one Cavity with the Heart, of
