PHYSICAL AND LITERARY. 26^ 



each mediajiinum was a pericardium with its 

 heart and veffels as in natural foetufes^ and 

 on each fide of each mediajiinum was a 

 thorax with lungs. Thofe in- the thorax 

 of the more compleat child, the one, ta 

 wit, with the face, being of a pale colour and 

 fwimming when put into water, while the 

 other lungs were of a redder colour and fank 



in water. 



The fpines gradually approached each o- 

 ther as they extended towards the neck, at 

 the lower part of which the fides of the bo- 

 dies of the vertebrae feemed to be contiguous ; 

 but I puihed a probe up between them as far 

 as the fecond vertebra. 



Within the head I faw a cerebellum on 

 each fide divided from a common cerebrum 

 by a membranous plexus produced from the 

 dura mater. The parts of the encephdlon were 

 too foft and tender for my diffedion, and I 

 examined the anatomy no further, but have 

 the monfter in fpirits with the three great ca- 

 vities filled with lint and bran where the 

 bowels were taken out.
