The property of curdling milkis, however, possessed by all digestive stomachs. The inner surftice ofthe three first stomachs is covered with cuticle; whilst that of the fourthis lined by a true mucous or secreting membrane.

From the oesophagus, in Fig. 26, a gutter or demi-canal passes intothe second and third stomachs. The third leads into the fourth by anarrow opening, and the fourth terminates in the duodenum, whichhas a pylorus at its origin. AVhen the animal eats solid food, it is,after slight mastication, passed into the paunch, and thence, by smallpoitions, into the second stomach. When this has become mixed with Fig. 26. Fig. 27.
