(After Ellenberger-Baum, Top. Anat. d. Pferdes.) it is only about two to three inches (ca. 5 to 7.5 cm.) in diameter.' This soon increases to about eight to ten inches (ca. 20 to 25 cm.) for the ventral parts. Beyond the pelvic flexure the diameter is reduced to about three or four inches (ca. 8 to 9 cm.). Near the diaphragmatic flexure the caliber rapidly increases, and reaches its maximum in the last part, where it forms a large sacculation, which may 1 Usually there is a sacculation of considerable size wliich succeeds the constricted origin..
