the ladealii- from the greateft part of the fmall In- 
teftines. The other branch of the rcceptaciilum re- 
ceives the lymphatics from the recium, and the lacleals 
from the greateft part of the fmall inteftines. The 
receptaculum, formed by thefe two branches, lies on 
^ the right fide of the upper part of the ftomach, (or 
the lower part of the cefophaguC) and is joined by 
tome lymphatics from that part ; and alfo by fome 
fmall velTels from the found, and from the gall blad- 
der, which, in this ftila, adheres to the rcccptaculum* 
Tlie thoracic du6t takes its rife from the receptacuhim, 
and lies on the right fide of the cejophagu^^ receiving 
lymphatics from that part ; and running up a little 
way (viz. about half an inch in this filh) it divides in- 
to two branches or dudts, one of which paffes under 
' the cefophagiis to the left fide, and the other goes 
ftraight up, on the right fide, runs paft the upper 
part of the kidney, from which it receives fome fmall 
branches, and foon after it is joined by a branch from 
the large lymphatic that lies above the bone of the 
thorax, as formerly mentioned. It likewife, near this 
part, fends a branch to join the dudt of theoppofite 
fide, and then, a little higher, is joined by thofe large 
lymphatics which make a net-work behind the heart, 
as formerly deferibed. Thefe laft mentioned veffels 
receive the lymphatics from the anterior, or fuperior 
part of the gills, and from the fauces. The thoracic 
dudl, after being joined by thefe veflels, communi- 
cates with that net-work near the orbit j where its 
lymph is mixed with that of the lymphatics from the 
pofterior part of the gills, from the fuperior fins, 
belly, 8cc. and then frorh this net-work a veflel goes 
into the jugular vein, juft below the orbit. This laft 
veflel,
