Fig. 3. Caecum and colon, from above, one sixth nat. size. cm, CEecum; col, loop of colon; il, ileum. The heart agreed with Poelman's and Owen's descriptions ; both the subclavians come off from the innominate ; and there is only one superior cava. There is no moderator band in the right ventricle ; and I could find no trace of an os cordis. A very good figure of the heart is given in Poelman's paper. The external and internal iliacs arise separately from the aorta. Each lung was imperfectly divided up into three lobes-a large posterior and two smaller anterior ; and there was also a small azy-gou^ lobe on the right side. This differs from Poelman's description in that he states that in the right lung there is only one slight division, and he does not mention the azygous lobe. The larynx corresponded with Poelman's description, showing the double pair of pouches figured by him. The kidneys are not lobulated, and in longitudinal section show a large extent of the cortical part as compared with the medullary. The right was slightly longer and narrower than the left, the former measuring 5M X 2%', and the latter 4|"x2|". The adrenals are elongated bodies about ^" wide, extending from the front margin of the kidney to the exit of the ureter. In section they show a yellow cortical and a brownish medullary part. The bladder has a narrow |
