of graminivorous and carnivorous Animals. igQ 
lias extended the same length on the left of the oesophagus as 
on the right, it is turned back upon itself, as far as the entrance 
of the oesophagus, then makes another turn, and ends in the 
pylorus by a very small valvular opening, which scarcely 
gives a passage to air when in a contracted state. No part of 
the stomach is lined with a cuticle, and a quarter of an inch 
from the pylorus, there is an appearance of glandular struc- 
ture ; this is very faint in consequence of the animal having 
been long kept in spirits. This animal occasionally feeds on 
flowers, since stamina resembling those of Eugenia, were 
found filling up several portions of the stomach, the filaments?, 
and anthera? in a perfect state. Vide Plate XI. fig. 3 . 
XIX. Long-eared Bat. 
The animal from which the stomach was taken was q~ inches 
long, and the tail included in the web about two inches. The 
wings extended nine inches. The oesophagus is extremely 
small, and lined with a cuticle which termates at the orifice 
of the stomach. The general cavity is distinctly divided into 
a cardiac and pyloric portion : close to the pylorus, and sur- 
rounding it, there is an appearance of small glands. 
In the spectre bat there is a swell in the oesophagus as in the 
vampyre ; so that in the different species of bats the stomachs 
vary very much from one another. Vide Plate XI. fig. 2. 
XX. The Hawk. 
The stomach is a direct continuation of the oesophagus, dis- 
tinguished from it by the termination of the cuticular lining, 
and by the solvent glands having their origin at that part. 
These are disposed in four longitudinal ridges ; they appear
