This is veiy satisfactorily seen in the dried stomach of a young e is the manyplus, or third stomach, and through which the canal is still to \)e traced to b, the abomasum, or fourth, or true digesting stomach. So that, as was asserted, this canal leads to no particular stomach exclusively, but to all of them according to circumstances. We are now, perhaps, prepared to return to the consideration of the first cut (p. 285). c c represent the form of this stomach in the greater part of rumi- nants, and particularly in oxen and sheep. It is situated somewhat obliquely in the abdominal cavity, and occupies nearly three-fourths of it. It is divided into two unequal compartments, or sacs, and reaches from the diaphragm to tte pelvic cavity. By its superior surface it is attached to the sublumbar region by its vessels, nerves, and a portion of mesentery. On the right side it is covered by a portion of the intestines ; on the left side it is more elevated, and is in contact with the left flank. It is on this account that we are sometimes induced to adopt the imsurgical mode of giving relief in cases of hoove ; for when we plunge our lancet or knife into the.
