​COX. (Captain, 1841. f-p., 24; h-p., 23.)
Douglas Cox 1789, born about the year 1789, is son of an old officer in the army, who was severely wounded during the first American war, and died some years ago at Nova Scotia, holding a Staff appointment.
This officer entered the Navy, 6 May, 1800, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Boston 32, Capt. John Erskine Douglas, and for many months of 1801 was arduously employed blockading the French 36-gun frigate Semillante on the coast of North America. Joining, in Dec. 1804, the Circe 32, Capt. Jonas Rose, he sailed for the West Indies, where, after assisting at the capture of several heavy privateers, he removed, in July, 1806, to the Northumberland 74, flag-ship of Sir Alex. Cochrane, and was appointed, 12 March, 1807, Sub-Lieutenant of the Attentive gun-brig, Lieut.-Commander Robt. Carr. In command of a jolly-boat belonging to the latter vessel, Mr. Cox, with only five hands, very dashingly boarded and carried, in a small harbour near Martinique, a large guardacosta of 2 long six-pounders and 35 men, although the whole of her crew, armed with muskets, were drawn up on the deck from stem to stern, ready to receive him. He also commanded on other equally successful cutting-out occasions, and bore a part in one or two stiff actions with privateers. Towards the close of 1807 he became Acting-Lieutenant of the Port d’Espagne 16, Capt. Jas. Pattison Stewart, on accompanying whom into the Snap 16, he witnessed the reduction of Martinique, and was officially promoted by commission dated 10 March, 1809. Continuing to serve in the same vessel with Capts. Thos. Barclay, Fras. Douglas, and Robt. Lisle Coulson, until Feb. 1811, we further discover Mr. Cox, besides contributing, as First Lieutenant, to the destruction of a merchantman under the fire of some batteries at Guadeloupe, co-operating in the capture of that island, and serving on shore with Brigadier-General Geo. Harcourt at the taking of St. Martin’s. He next cruized for a short time in the North Sea, on board the Lynx 18, Capt. Thos. Percival; and, from May, 1811, until July, 1814, again served with Capt. J. E. Douglas, in the Bellona 74, and Prince of Wales 98, latterly on the Mediterranean station, where he beheld the fall of Genoa, in April, 1814. He was afterwards appointed – 8 Aug. 1814, to the Alpheus 36, Capt. Geo. Langford, in which ship he visited the East Indies and China – and, 29 Jan. 1817, to the Primrose 18, Capt. Chas. Geo. Rodney Phillott, fitting for the Jamaica station. He was there promoted, 9 July following, to the command of the Shearwater sloop, which he brought home and paid off 17 April, 1820. Capt. Cox, who subsequently held an Inspectorship in the Coast Guard from 15 June, 1832, until the close of 1835, attained Post-rank 23 Nov. 1841. He is at present on half-pay.
He has been twice married, and has three children by his first marriage. His present wife was the widow of Commander Chas. Newton Hunter, R.N. Agents – Messrs. Chard.

​COX. (Lieutenant, 1815. f-p., 26; h-p., 16.)
Henry Cox, born in Oct. 1793, is maternally related to the families of the celebrated Sir Fras. Drake and Sir John Williams, the latter of whom held the Surveyorship of the Navy from 22 June, 1765, until 12 Dec. 1784.
This officer entered the Navy, 28 Jan. 1805, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Circe 32, Capts. Jonas Rose, Joseph Spear, and Hugh Pigot. He next served, from Nov. 1807, until Nov. 1812, nearly the whole time as Midshipman, in the Implacable 74, Capts. Thos. Byam Martin, Geo. Cockburn, and Joshua Rowley Watson, under the first of whom we find him taking part, 26 Aug. 1808, in a gallant action of 20 minutes with the Russian 74-gun ship Sewolod which was completely silenced, and in the end, with the assistance of the Centaur 74, flagship of Sir Sam. Hood, captured and burnt, in sight of the whole Russian fleet, near Rogerswick, after a total loss to the enemy of 303 men, and to the Implacable, individually, of 6 killed and 26 wounded. He also served at the siege of Cadiz; and, on next joining the Pelican, of 18 guns and 101 men, Capt. John Fordyce Maples, was present, 14 Aug. 1813, in a spirited conflict of 45 minutes, which rendered captive to the British, whose loss amounted to 2 men killed and 5 wounded, the American sloop Argus, of 20 guns and 122 men, 6 of whom were killed and 18 wounded. For his conduct on that occasion Mr. Cox, after a servitude of some months in the President 38, Capts. Fras. Mason and Arch. Duff, on the Irish station, was awarded a Lieutenant’s commission 3 Feb. 1815. He obtained an appointment in the Coast Guard 18 June, 1831; and, on 8 Oct. 1844, was transferred to the command of the Lapwing Revenue-vessel, which he still retains. For his great exertions in saving life and property when commanding the Coast Guard station at St. Andrew’s, Lieut. Cox received a gold and silver medal from the Royal National Institution, the thanks of both Universities, the honorary freedom of the City, the thanks in two instances of the Town Council, and more than 30 acknowledgments from various Insurance Companies and other Institutions; and was also presented with a sword by a body of underwriters.

​CRABB. (Lieut., 1809. f-p., 14; h-p., 32.)
Joseph William Crabb entered the Navy, 4 Sept. 1801, as Midshipman, on board the Royal Sovereign 100, Capt. Rich. Raggett, flag-ship in the Channel of Sir Henry Harvey. He afterwards, until May, 1806, served, in the Mediterranean, and again on the Home station, on board the Acasta 38, Capt. Jas. Athol Wood, Doris 36, Capts. Rich. Harrison Pearson and Patrick Campbell, Diamond 38, Capt. Thos. Elphinstone, and Chiffonne 36, Capt. P. Campbell. We then find him accompanying the latter officer into the Unité 36, in which frigate, under Capt. Edwin Henry Chamberlayne, he continued until Oct. 1815. On 16 June, 1809, Mr. Crabb – who had assisted, in May, 1808, at the taking of Il Ronco of 16 guns, and in June following at the simultaneous capture of the Nettuno and Toulie brigs, of similar force – was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. He subsequently, in Jan. 1810, received, while commanding the Unité’s boats in close but unsuccessful pursuit of an enemy’s vessel, a very severe wound near the left groin, by a langridge shot, which has never yet been extracted; and on 31 March, 1811, he was present at the capture of the 20-gun store-ship Dromadaire. On 4 July in the same year we again discover Mr. Crabb commanding the boats, and cutting out from under a 2-gun battery, near Port Hercule, on the Roman coast, the St. François de Paule, a vigorously-defended brig, mounting 8 six and three-pounders; and, in the evening of the same day, acting in concert with Capt. Aug. Wm. Jas. Clifford of the Cephalus at the hazardous capture of three merchantmen near Civita Vecchia. At the capture, 29 Nov. ensuing, after a severe running-fight of four hours, of the 26-gun store-ship Persanne, which until the moment of her surrender had been taken for a frigate, Mr. Crabb officiated as Senior Lieutenant of the Unité, and again distinguished himself. He appears to have eventually served, in the Channel, as First, also, of the Orontes 36, Capt. Nathaniel Day Cochrane, from June to Oct. 1816; since which latter date he has been on half-pay.

# A Laboratory Manual of the Anatomy of the Rat/The Salivary Glands

THE SALIVARY GLANDS
The glands of the neck should be studied first, because they or their ducts are likely to be injured during the dissection of the blood vessels of this region. Cautiously remove the skin from the head and neck, taking care to avoid injuring the underlying muscles, blood vessels, and glands. Removal of the subcutaneous connective tissue on the ventral and lateral surfaces of the neck will now reveal the glands. These are of three types, salivary, lymph, and lacrimal.
The salivary glands secrete the saliva, which is mixed with the food in the mouth during mastication. Look for two of them in the rat, the parotid and the submaxillary glands. The parotid is the rather loosely organized, elongated, mass extending from the base of the external ear along the side of the neck to the ventral surface of it. Find and trace the parotid duct (Stenson's duct) which transports the salivary secretion from the gland to the mouth cavity. The duct is formed by the union of several tributaries from different parts of the gland, traverses the lateral surface of the jaw muscle (masseter), then turns inward to the mouth cavity. The duct should not be confused with the nerves which cross the surface of the muscle in this region. Immediately anterior to the dorsal portion of the parotid is the extra-orbital portion of the lacrimal, or tear, gland. Locate its duct and trace it to the eye. The submaxillary glands are the large elongated pair on the ventral surface of the neck. The median faces of these glands are in contact with one another, in the sagittal plane ​of the animal, throughout most of their length. Trace the two submaxillary (Wharton's) ducts, each of which leaves the anterior end of one of the glands and courses cephalad to the opening on the ventral surface of the buccal cavity. In following the ducts avoid injury to the blood vessels of this region. The masses which lie anterior to the submaxillary glands between the rami of the lower jaw are said to be lymph glands.
Exercise XIII. Sketch a ventrolateral view of the head showing these glands and their ducts.
# A Laboratory Manual of the Anatomy of the Rat/The Vascular System (Continued)

THE VASCULAR SYSTEM (Continued)
THE HEPATIC PORTAL SYSTEM
Prepare now to study the contents of the abdominal cavity, that part of the coelom which lies posterior to the diaphragm. Slit the abdominal wall in the sagittal plane from the diaphragm posteriorly nearly to the external genital organs, which lie between the hind legs. Do not injure either the external or internal genital organs. Make an anterior and a posterior cut at right angles to this longitudinal incision, reflect the lateral flaps, exposing the digestive and reproductive systems lying in the abdominal cavity. Examine the mesenteries supporting the digestive organs, and observe their veins.
The portal system comprises the veins which carry to the liver the blood from the capillaries of the intestines, stomach, pancreas, and spleen. All the tributaries of this system converge to the portal vein which goes into the liver immediately ventral to the entrance of the inferior vena cava into that organ. Trace the ramifications of the portal system throughout the mesenteries of the stomach and intestines. Just before it enters the liver the portal vein receives the pancreatico-duodenal vein from the duodenum and pancreas, and the gastro-epiploic vein from the pancreas and greater curvature of the stomach. These two vessels unite and enter the portal vein by a common trunk. The portal vein is formed by the confluence of the gastro-splenic and superior mesenteric veins. The gastro-splenic is formed by the union of branches from the spleen, pancreas, and lesser curvature of the stomach. The superior ​mesenteric vein drains the ascending colon, caecum, and small intestine. It receives the inferior mesenteric vein from the descending colon.
Exercise XIX. Make a diagrammatic drawing of the hepatic portal system.
