About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1814. Excerpt: ... LECTURE XI. On the Intestines of Quadrupeds. The form of the intestines in the class mammalia is so various, and the difference in structure in the different tribes is so strongly marked, that it becomes necessary to simplify the subject, by dividing it into subdivisions, beginning with the intestines of quadrupeds nearest allied to those of the bird, and ending with those which are the furthest removed. The first subdivision will comprehend all the intestines which have cceca formed upon the same principle as those in birds. The second, all intestines which have no such appendage as a ccecum. The third, all intestines which have a ccecum, forming a portion of the intestinal canal. Of Intestines which have Cceca resembling those of Birds. The only species of animal which has cceca exactly the same as in the bird, is the myrmecophaga didactyla, one of the ant-eaters; which proves what I have already stated, that the ant-eaters, with respect to their digestive organs, both stomachs and intestines, form the intermediate link between birds and quadrupeds. In this animal, the duodenum passes down on the right side and across the body, becoming larger towards its termination; at that part there is a sudden contraction, and the intestine becomes attached to a narrow mesentery, which becomes gradually broader. The ilium passes over to the left immediately under the stomach, and ends in the colon, which begins by being dilated to more than three times the size of the ilium; and from the rounded end of this dilatation go off two small cceca, one on each side, one-quarter of an inch long, and one-eighth wide. The colon and the rectum take a straight course to the anus, and are only about three inches long, which exactly corresponds with what is met with in the bird....
