(For the measurement (5 mm.) and for confirming the correctness of this resume by comparison with the specimen, still preserved in the laborator}- of Vassar College, the writer is much indebted to Professor Beckwith.). Fig. 3 Pancreatic bladder from a female cat. duod., duodenum; , pancreatic bladder; pan-d., pancreatic duct with splenic and duodenal divisions, and ; , , right and left hepatic ducts; cystic d., cystic duct; gall bl., gall bladder. The case reported by Miss Beckwith apparently belongs in the same class with the human double gall bladder recorded by Cruveilliier (Bull, de la soc. anat. de Paris, 1860, pp. 66, 67), The gall bladder which he described seemed to present merely a bifid fundus, but upon dissection it was found to be double as far as its neck. From the single neck two ducts were given off, one of which emptied into the hepatic duct. The termination of the other, very unfortunately, remains unknown, since it had been cut when the liver was removed at autopsj^.
