Annual report of the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station . hedby peritoneum. They enter opposite sides of the rectum justbehind the ileocolic valve. Where the coeca parallel the trans-verse part of the small intestine the left one lies craniad andventrad to the intestine. The right coecum lies caudal anddorsal to it. The left coecum thus lies farther forward on theovary than does the intestine. When a laying period is approached the growing yolks onthe ovary crowd the viscera caudad. The intestine and coecumare forced backward and downward from the ovary. Themesentery of the intestine, the intestine itself, the peritoneumjoining the left coecum of the intestine, and the left coecumitself, form a partition between the ovary and the other vis-cera. This partition is incomplete dorsal to the end of theleft coecum and lateral to the anterior end of the rectum. Thisspace is at the caudolateral angle of the ovary and here themouth of the funnel is spread out facing that organ. It is thusin the position most advantageous to receive the mature ^nteMor e/ongationof funyiel Fig. 2.
