During the seventeenth century it is referred to by suchanatomists as Bautrin1 and Philippe Vertreyen. In the eighteenth century fairly full descriptions of it aregiven by Santorinr and Fig. 1.—Showing the appearance of the ctecum in the Mangabey monkey andSilvery Gibbon. (Treves.) A.—Ctecum of the Mangabey monkey, presenting nodistinct vermiform appendix. B. — Posterior view of the same specimen, thecrecum being turned upwards. C.—Quadrilateral shaped crecum with true vermiformappendix, from the Silvery Gibbon. D.—Posterior view of the same specimen,the caecum and appendix being turned upwards. Thl5 also, in a dissertation published in 1718, roughly figuresthe vermiform appendix; and Lieberkiihn,6 in 1739, wrote hisdissertation on the ileo-crecal valve and the csecal appendix. 1 Bautrin.
