The liver is principally one lobe, pretty clofc to the 
heart at the fore part, and pafTes back on the right of 
the ftomach and inteftinesj at its anterior extremity 
on the left fide, there is a very fhort lobe, ending 
abruptly. The gall-bladder lies in a fifiure on the 
left fide of the liver near its middle ; there is no hepatic 
dud ; the hepato-cyftic duds, which feem to be three 
in number, enter the gall-bladder at its anterior end or 
fundus, and the cyftic dud pafies out from the pofterior 
end of the gall-bladder, and terminates in the gut, 
about half an inch from the pylorus. The cefopba- 
gus, which is pretty large, pafTes back, and is continued 
into the ftomach in the fame line. The ftomach, at 
the pofierior end, bends a little to the right, where it 
terminates in the pylorus. The inteftines pafs back 
making many turns j at the pofterior end they 
become pretty ftreight, forming what may be called 
the colon, or redum, where they are a little larger 
and run to the anus in a ftreight diredion. At the 
beginning of this larger part of the inteftinal tube, 
there is no valvular ftrudure. The fpleen is a very 
fmall but long body ; its anterior end is attached to 
the upper furface of the ftomach, and it is continued 
back along the left fide of the mefentery, to which it 
adheres. The pancreas is a fmall body lying above 
the duodenum, and is attached alfo to the left fide of 
the mefentery. The kidneys are fituated in the upper 
and pofterior part of the abdomen, having the redum 
pafiing below and between them as in the fnake, &c. 
Below the redum lies a long bag, like a bladder ; it 
adheres all along to the inlide of the abdominal
