The parietal surface is related almost exclusively to the right jiart of the cliai)hragin.

The umbilical fissure is deep and partially divides the gland into two chief lohes, dorsal and ventral. The caudate lohe is prismatic and hlunt-jiointed. The tesophageal notch is represented by a slight impression. The gall-bladder is long anfl narrow. The bile-iluct joins the ]iancreatic duct to form a common bile- duct (Ductus choledochus communis), which opens into the duodenum about one foot (ca. 30 cm.) from the pylorus. The pancreas is arranged as in the ox. Its duct imites with the bile- duct.

It weighs about three or four ounces (ca. 100 grams). Its length is about five to six inches (ca. 12 to 15 cm.), antl its greatest witlth three to four inches (ca. cm.). The long axis is obliqvie, and corresponds to a line drawn from the vertebral end of the last rib to about the mitldle of the tenth inter- costal space. The parietal surface is convex and is relatetl to the diaphragm, to which rather rriore than the anterior third is adherent; when hardened in situ, it often shows impressions of the upper parts of the last three ribs. The visceral surface is concave, and its anterior half is attached to the dorsal curvature of the rumen. The borders are thin, the posterior one often lieing crenated. The dorsal end or base is attached to the left crus of the diaphragm under the last two ribs;. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may
