jugular, whllft another gets to the outfide of that 
vein, and Teems to open into it a little above the 
angle between that vein and the fubclavlan. I fay 
Teems to open, for the injection has not Tucceeded at 
this part To as to enable me to determine whether the 
laft-mentioned branch really did enter or not. Into 
the above-mentioned receptaculum, the lymphatics of 
the ftomach and diiodenwn likewile enter. Thofe of 
the duodenum run by the hde of the pancreas^ and pro- 
bably receive its lymphatics, and a part of thofe ol the 
liver. The lymphatics of the flomach and duode?m?n 
have very numerous anaftornojes, and form a beautiful 
.net- work on the artery which they accompany. From 
this receptciculum likewife, befides the trunk already 
mentioned, which goes to the right fide, arife two 
other trunks pretty equal in fize ; one of wdiich runs 
upon the left fide, and the other upon the right fide of 
the left aorta, till they come vdthin two or three 
inches of the left fubclavian vein j where they join 
behind the aorta, and form a number of branches, 
which are afterwards joined by the lymphatics of the 
left fide of the neck : fo that here a net-work, or 
plexus, is formed, as upon the right fide. From this 
plexus a branch iffues, which opens into the angle be- 
tween the jugular and the lower part or trunk of the 
fubclavian vein. In thefe net-works, formed by the 
lymphatics near their terminations in the veins, this 
fyftem in the turtle likewife differs remarkably from 
that in birds. 
So much for the general defeription of the lympha- 
tic fyftem in this animal, I fhall next add what I have 
obferved as to the more minute diftribution of its 
ladteals. In the firft place, it may be obferved, that
