The point to be noticed is that the increase in the diameter of the intes- tine is due almost if not entirely to an increase in thickness of the connective tissue and muscle layers. No difference in the com- plexity of the folds of the mucosa of the two stages can be noticed.

The thickness of the fibro- muscular part of the wall of the intestine varies consid- erably on different sides of the same region, but it con- sists of the same layers in about the same relative amounts. Figure 51 represents in outline the wall of the mid- dle region of the small intes- tine during feeding. The epithelium is of the same thickness in the two stages, and the only difference in its character that can be seen under a high magnification is that, in the middle region at least, the nuclei are not crowded so close together at the basal ends of.
