The stomach of the horse represents a more advanced form of compound stomach than that of the hog, which is not evi- dent, however, until its glandular structure is examined closely. The entire left portion of the stomach represents an oesophageal dilata- tion lined with an epithelium that closely resembles that of the oesoph- agus, and with little if any digest- ive function. It thus appears that the stomach of the horse is in reali- ty smaller, as a true digestive gland, than it seems, so that a great part of the work of digestion must be done in the intestine; though in this animal, if the food be retained long as it is in the hog, which is not, however, the general opinion as regards the stomach of the horse, salivary digestion may continue for a considerable period after the food has left the mouth.
