the Pefarefe fofiils, which are inferred in different 

 parts of the Raccolta d'opufcoli Scientifici e Filolo- 

 gid, printed at Venice by Simone Occhi. I did 

 not go by this road, as I went by water to Bo- 

 logna. 



I have not much to fay to you of the Univer- 

 fity. The public halls are many ; the library is 

 numerous ; and the anatomical theatre handfome, 

 and decorated with fine fculpture. The botanical 

 garden has been of late aggrandized and much 

 embellifhed. The Profeflbrs have, in the begin- 

 ning of their academical function, but a fmall 

 revenue of about forty fcudi ; but it is annually 

 increafing. They repair at their fixed hours to 

 the public leffon-rooms, expecting their ftudents, 

 who feldom appear there. But the private lefibns 

 in their houfes are better frequented. 



The Inftitutum Eononienfe is a noble eftablifh- 

 ment, and with much magnificence and conveni- 

 encies planned out to teach every fcience. It has 

 been by fo-many travellers, and in a feparate vo- 

 lume, fo well defcrjbed, that I have nothing to 

 add. 



The Mufcular Preparations in whole fkeletons 

 are a capital ornament of the anatomical room. 



In the Midwifery -colle5lion I obferved a great 

 many Uteri, made of leather, and in them the 

 feet us in every pofiible pofition.
