In the smaller ani-mals, such divided into several areas ; these divisions are arbitrary,and anatomists do not all agree as to how they should bemade. The one most generally adopted in the schools inEngland and America, and which is probably the sim-plest, is the following, taken from McFadyeans Anat-omy of the Horse (Edinburgh and London, 1884).

The regionsthus formed are, between the diaphragm and the trans-verse plane passing through the fifteenth rib, the lefthypochondriac, epigastric, and right h
