The anatomical record . stinct with a thickpartition between and each ventricle .sends a large aorta to thebody on the opposite side, these aortas crossing anterior tothe heart. The aorta from the left sitle supplies blood to thehead while that from the right side sends no branches fartherforward than the fore legs. Possibly this may explain thedifference in the size of the two bodies. If approximately halfthe l)lood was pumped by each ventricle, the left body wouldhave Ijcen better fed since none of its blood is sent to the luad.

The aorta to either .side .sends a branch artery to each foreleg of the botly it sup])li( s. These legs are at different levels(figs. 1, 2) and between the two branches of each aorta there isgiven ofT a small branch to the lung, a pulmonary artery (fig. 4,, ). These jnilmonarj arteries pass to the lungcomi)lex which is fused dorsally and free ventrally. On the rightside there are three lobes and on the left four lobes of the lung. 27S S. U. WILLIAMS AM) H.
