Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dublin Quarterly Journal of Science, 1861, Vol. 1: Containing Papers Read Before the Royal Dublin Society, the Royal Irish Academy, the Geological Society of Dublin, and the Natural History Society of Dublin
If this bundle of tubes be raised, and drawn forwards, and the little ?eshy belly of the sn out-muscle drawn outwards, in the angle formal between them will be foun'd the organ sought for;hh1t probably it may remain invisible until a drop or two of tolerably strong acetic acid being brought 1n contact with it, it is thus revealed as distinct from the ge latinous tissue which surrounds 1t. Thus brought into view, we find a little mass, varying in length from iof an inch to 1} inches, wedged m between the occipital muscles internally, and the branchia and their thin lnuscnlar coverings externally, covered superficially by the tubes and mout-mfiscle, already mentioned, and dipping downwards so as to reach the nerve-branehes of the vague going to the gills.
