In proportion as these new vessels are developed, the omphalo-mesenteric vessels dis- appear, until at last there only remain one or two ducts that pass to the umbilical vesicle. The umhilical veins are developed immediately after the formation of the omphalo-mesenteric veins ; they enter the common trunk of the latter, and when its ramifications diminish in volume, the umbilical veins increase rapidly ; when the liver is formed around them, they throw into it branches, which are the rudiments of the hepatic network. Between the hepatic and sublobular veins, the umbilical vein communicates with the vena cava by the ductus venosus of Aranzi, which, according to M. Colin, does not exist in the foetus of Solipeds in the last moiety of uterine life. The veins of the embryo form four principal trunks at first—two anterior, the anterior cardinal veins; and two posterior—the posterior cardinal veins. The veins of the same side unite in twos, from which result the Cuvierian ducts ; these open transversely into the omphalo-mesenteric
