 XlERE {hould follow, if I kept strict to his notes, a 

 learned inquiry of Dr Palks into the origin o/'the 

 uropygium; but as, although it would be highly inte^ 

 resting to the physiologist, it does not fall into the 

 plan of this paper, which is meant more especially 

 to convey practical information, I Ihall only men- 

 tion the conclusion of my learned friend. 



He regards the uropygium as a fatty excrescence 

 produced originally by the bitter saline pastures of 

 Tartary, which has gradually augmented in size 

 through a number of generations, like some* disea.. 

 8es, insomuch that the tail has gradually decayed!
