To how great an extent this action takes place is a somewhat dis- puted point, but there seems to be little doubt that it is at least of some consequence, though it by no means completes the digestion of the starch, especially in animals having a simple stomach. Moreover, the saliva, being a very watery secretion, dissolves the soluble matters of the food, and forms, to a certain extent, an aqueous extract of it. Rumination.^—From the mouth, the food, after being fonned into morsels by the tongue, passes through the gullet to the stomach- In animals with a simple stomach, the horse or hog, e, g,^ the acts of mastication and in- salivation are performed com- pletely at iirst, but in the ease of animals that chew the cud (ruminants), the food is at first only slightly chewed, and then passes into one of the divisions of their compound stomach. The stomach of the niminants consists of four diviaonSy as shown in outline in fig. 2. The slightly-chewed masses pass first through the gullet, ^, into the largest division of the stomach, the jpauneh or first stomach, 55, and paitly also into the second stom- ach or Tetimhjmhy c.
