216 ' DESCRIPTION of a 
Tue foft parts of the trunk were fupported by fixteen ver- 
tebre, fix ribs, an os facrum, and two offa innominata. The 
legs had each an os femoris, tibia and fibula, with an imperfe@ 
number of the bones of the feet. See fig: 2, X. and fig. 4. 1. &c. 
to 16.17. 
Tue umbilical cord was connected at nearly the ufual height 
above the offa pubis. See fig. 1. E. 
THE penis, covered with a large preputium, had the ufual fi- 
tuation and ftructure. See fig. 1. F. 
Tue lower part of the trunk contained an inteftinal tube, 
fhut at its beginning, and compofed of an upper part, four 
inches long, refembling the end of the ilium ; for it terminated 
in the fide of an inteftine, refembling the caput coli, with its 
appendix vermiformis. From this place, to its lower end, the 
great inteftine meafured thirteen inches; and the end of the 
rectum, which was much contracted, terminated in the back 
part of the bladder of urine, above its fphin@ter. The re@tum - 
contained vifcid femipellucid mucus, but no black ftuff, like 
the meconium. See fig. 2,.0.P.Q.R.S.T.U.V. and fig. 3.. 
O..P. 
In the mefentery and mefocolon, there were about a dozen 
conglobated lymphatic glands, of the ufual fhape, colour and 
confiftence. See fig.2. From which it appeared, that the in- 
teftines were provided with lacteal veflels ; and we therefore 
cannot doubt, that the other parts of the body were furnifhed 
with lymphatic vellels, or that there was an abforbent, as well 
as circulating fyftem in this monfter. 
Ar the upper part of the trunk, covered by the ribs, there 
were two kidneys of a large fize, with a pelvis and ureter to 
each. The right ureter was dilated to the fize of a goofe’s 
quill. The left one was fmall. Both were fhut at their under 
ends, and had no communication with a fmall fac, which, 
in fituation and ftru€ture, refembled the bladder of urine, and 
had.
