or moillure, from the eyes, are conveyed into the noftrils • there 
was alio a large Foramen in the upper jaw-bone, for the paflage 
of fome vcf[els from the internal orbit of the eye : The Craniumy 
which encompafled the brain, was in the largefl place about an 
inch over, and about an inch and a half in length, but its cavity 
jutted out Ibmewhat farther towards the Nares, forming as it 
were, a particular cell here, and pretty capacious, for receiving 
the ^rocejfus Mammillarei^ and the fore-part of the brain ; the 
Oi Cribnforme was very remarkably perforated with holes like 
a fieve 5 and indeed, in forming this organ of fmellmg, nature 
fecms very careful and iblicitous, the Roftrum making lb great 
a part of the head, that the Cranium itfelf feemed very in- 
condderable in refpedl thereof, its internal capacity containing 
not above the quantity of a walnut 5 the Os Spon^iofum in 
each noftril leemed very curioully contrived by it's number 
of Laminde^ fo that the membrane, which covers them, is by 
this means rendred more capacious, and capable of receiving 
more plentifully the Effluvia of thofe animals, it would either 
catch or avoid ; and it is known that brutes in this lenfe excel 
even man himfelf, and that their organ is more adapted to it : 
The under jaw conilfis of two itrong bones, joined together only 
at the Akntnray or chin, each of them meafured four inches m 
length ^ the head of this bone, which was half an inch broad, 
was received into a Sinus of the Os T'emporum, md very firmly 
articulated there j it had two ^roceffus-^ the aip.erior or fuperior 
is large and thin, into which the temporal m-ide is inserted 5 
the inferior procefs is Imalle;-, and runs to a /l^arp point 5 here at 
this procefs, the edge of the mandible is fo dilated, that it mea- 
fured above half an irjch 5 on the iniide of the jaw is a large Si- 
nuSy v;hich leads to a Foramen^ that goes into the body of the 
jaw-bone, and affords a paflage for the veflels thither 5 in the up* 
per jaw there were anteriorly eight fmall 'Dentes LiciforeSy four 
on each fide, then a void ipace of a quarter of an inch, and 
then two large prominent Rentes Canini, one of each fide, which 
jutted out of the jaw about half an inch j theie were fuccceded on 
each fide with three 2)eJites InciforeSy which were much ftronger 
and larger than the fore-teeth, and refembled the T>entes Mo- 
lareSy they were flat and almoft of a triangular figure ^ there 
were four 'Dentes Molar es on each fide, and in all 24 teeth in 
the upper jaw j but the double fangs of the Molares and the 
larger InciforeSy were luch as at firft fight appeared to be two di- 
ftind teeth, each fang being inferted into a diftinfl: AlveoluSy or 
iocket, and feparated for fome way above the jaw-bone, and only 
joined
