It is not present in the Teleostei An enlargement may be observed at the commencement of the mid-gut of the Selachii; in the Sturiones there is a large, and externally much diverticulated glandular organ at the same point; it is divided internally into a number of spaces corresponding to the diverticula. In Lepidosteus the various portions are more sharply separated from one another, and have the appearance of groups of short csecal tubes which beset the pyloric portion of the mid-gut, and, as in many Teleostei, form the appendices pyloricas (Fig. 31G, A B ap). They beset a certain portion of the mid-gut and vary in oe.
