In the Dog, the ductus choledochus, joined to a small branch from the pancreatic duct, enters the intestine at a variable distance from the pylorus, depending upon the size of the animal, but usually between 1^ and 4f inches. In the portion comprised between the intestine and the origin of the cystic duct, it receives several biliary canals of some- what considerable diameter.

. The comparative anatomy of the domesticated animals. Veterinary anatomy. 434 THE DIGESTIVE AFFABATUS IN MAMMALIA. In the Dog, the ductus choledochus, joined to a small branch from the pancreatic duct, enters the intestine at a variable distance from the pylorus, depending upon the size of the animal, but usually between 1^ and 4f inches. In the portion comprised between the intestine and the origin of the cystic duct, it receives several biliary canals of some- what considerable diameter. In the Cat, the ductus choledochus is most frequently inserted from about 1 to 1| inches from the pyloric orifice; it opens immediately along- side the pancreatic duct when it does not join it. 2. Pancreas.—In the Ox, the pancreas is not placed across the sublumbar parietes, but is comprised between the layers of the mesentery, to the right of the great mesenteric artery. The excretory duct is single, and opens into the small intestine at from 14 to 16 inches beyond the ductus choledochus. In the Sheep and Goat, there is the same general arrangement, but the excretory duct opens with that of the liver. In the Fig, this duct is inserted at from 4 to 6 inches behind the ductus choledochus. The pancreas of the Dog is extremely elongated, and included between the layers of the mesentery which sustain the duodenum. It is curved at its anterior extremity, behind the stomach, to one side of the median line. Its excretory duct, usually single, pierces the intestinal membranes 2 inches beyond the hepatic duct (Fig. 219, m). Except in the mode of insertion of the excretory duct, which has been described in noticing the ductus choledochus, the pancreas of the Cat comports itself exactly like that of the Dog. 3. Spleen.—In Ruminants, the spleen is not supported by the great omentum, but adheres to the left side of the rumen and diaphragm. It is not falciform, and its breadth is the same throughout its extent. In the Carnivora, it is suspended to the great omentum at a certain distance fr
