In the Turtle ( Chelone Midas)the pancreatic duct terminates on a pa-pilla, which projects into the terminal ex-pansion, or (ampulla, of the pancreas in carnivorous Terrapins {Emys) is more bulkyand compact in form than in the fucivorous Turtles ( Chelone). Thus in the vegetable-feeding Gopher the pancreas is -^qq ofthe total weight of the animal: whilst in the carnivorous Snapperit is q-Iq of the total weight of the animal. As the proportionof fat consumed by Carnivora must be greater than that byHerbivora, the results of the above comparative observationsaccord with the view of the use of the pancreas in preparingfatty matters for Liver, pancreas, and spleen ofthe Frog (Bana). ccxxxi. 1 xx. vol. i. p. 235, no. 778. 2 Dr. Jones, ccxlv. p. 107, ascertained the weight of the body and of the pancreasin several American Reptilia, and gives the relative weight of the latter in the sub-joined form.
