The intestinal glands in ruminants generally (as stated in my article Rumi- 
nantia, in the Supplement to Dr Todd’s Cyclop, of Anat. and Phys.) do not 
offer any deviation worthy of notice ; but here we have a curious exception to the 
rule affecting the last Peyerian patch which extends considerably beyond the 
ileo-colic opening. This organ is both striking and complicated, as seen in the 
accompanying woodcut (fig. 2). It will be observed that there are from fifteen 
to twenty sacculi, so combined as to form a network of cells, seven of them 
resembling in some degree the water -reservoirs of the reticulum , and having 
a depth varying from three to four lines : the remainder are more or less in- 
complete, whilst those farthest from the ileo-colic valve are mere depressions, 
Sacculated Peyerian Gland adjoining the ileo-colic valve. From a Giraffe 
about two years old. Natural size. (Original.)
