supposed to be joined only by blood vessels,

fore liver tissue. 1t viii be remembered that
Chang was said to be possessed of one more
pouch than Eng. When the liver was re-
moved, however, an upper hepatic pouch
was found also proceeding from Eng, so that

signed the pledge. 1t ought, however, to be
stated that these figures include some large
