To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its cavity gradually enlarges from the left extremity till it nearly reaches the pylorus, it then dilates into a round cavity with two lateral processes, and finally ends by a narrow orifice. It presents a sacculated appearance arising from the presence of anterior and posterior bands like those of the human colon, and the cuticle lines it to a certain extent on either side of the entrance of the oesophagus. This animal has been known to ruminate when fed on hard ifood. The kangaroO-rat and the... vam- pyre bat present similar modifications of stomach but have no part of it lined with cuticle, and in the former there is a valve at the cardiac orifice. The intestine of the kangaroo corresponds in its great length and convolutions with the coarse nature of its vegetable food, and the coecum is about fifteen inches long. At the cardiac orifice of the stomach in the beaver and wombat there is a large gastric gland, like the glandular infundibulum in birds. The ruminating animals possess four stomachs ; the first magnus venter, or paunch, receives the crude unrnasticated food, while the animal is grazing.
