Rhinoceros unicornis, male Jim in London Zoo. Caecum. This organ is lined by a voluminous mucous membrane, separated from the muscular wall by an extremely loose submucosa and thus easily thrown into transient folds. The mucous membrane consists, as usual in this part of the gut, of an even and close-set series of Crypts of Lieberkuhn. They are 0.25 mm long, and about half as long as in the caecum of the horse.
