4 Frenchman who has made an ex- animation of the food canal in man. mals has measured the length of 1t in 2S0 specimens that belong to thirty species. He has found that the ratio between the length of the canal and the length of the body is smallest in the carnivorous animals. larger in those that are called omnivorous and largest In the vegetarians. In other words, the length of the food tract seems to vary with the digestibility of the kinds of food that are consumed The rule holds true in birds as well as In ami mals. In man the alimentary canal Is about thirty feet long, usually from five to six times the length of the body.
