The Cat has from 4 to 5 feet.) Comparison of the Intestines of Man with those of Animals. Not unfreqnently the small intestine of Man is divided into duodenum and small intestine proper. The duodenum is from 9 to 11 Fig. 292. inches in length ; is dilated at its origin, and firmly attached to the posteiior face of the liver by a peritoneal fold, and to the right of the sublunibar ngion by connective tissue. It describes the arc of a circle, in the concavity of which is lodged the right extremity of tlie pan- creas, and not the caecum, as in Solipeds. Tlie small intestine proper is suspended by a mesentery somewhat similar to that of the Horse. Its length varies much— from 13 to 26 feet. Its internal face has a large number of transverse rugse, the valvulae conniventes. It also shows from 20 to 25 Peyer's patches, particularly in the ileo-csecal portion. Its structure is like that already described. In the large intestine are recognized the caecum, colon, and rectum. The caecum is a small reservoir placed in the right iliac fossa, a little obliquely downwards and to the left. It commences at the il
