The left auricle, fig. 336, M, receives the arterial blood from the lungs by a single vein, the common trunk of the ])ulmonary veins, ib. I, I: it opens into the back part of the auricle near the septum, and is guarded by a single oblique membranous fold, ib. m. Each auriculo-ventricular orifice is guarded by a fold which extends across it from either side of the base of the inter- auricular septum ; to that of the left auricle a small part of the muscular structure is attached by chordas tcndineje. Opposite to the right valve a semilunar ridge projects, in Testudo indica, which is the rudiment of the second auriculo-ventricular valve in the Cro- codile, and of the fleshy valve of tliat orifice in the right ventricle.
