In the Crocodilia the kidneys are of an oblong oval form; theforepart is thickest or largest, and is sternacl of the psoas muscle,the hind part extends into the side of the pelvis; they are incontact with each other at the mid-line. The surface is convo-luted, like the brain, but with smaller and more numerous gyrse ;the colour of the kidney is usually a deep brown.
