ms : There were two Clavlcul^, or collar-bones, each sn inch 
and a half long, with an extremity faflened to the firft bone of 
the Sternum^ or the Cartilago Enfiformis^ and the other to the 
fpine or Scapula, near its tonjund:ion to the Os Humeri -^ by 
means of this bone, it can more advantageoufly bring its fore-feet 
to its mouth, as it ufes to do when it feeds itfelf, like the monkey- 
kind, being provided as men are with Claviculce : The Scapula^ 
or fhoulder-blade, was about two inches long, and about an inch 
and a half broad ^ its Ipine, tho' thin, yet the nearer it ap- 
proached the flioulder, it grew larger and flatter 3 into the Sinus 
of the neck of the Scapula, the head of the Aioulder-bone was 
received, or fore-thigh bone; and to that protuberance called the 
Acromium, the end of the clavicle was faftened; this thigh-bone 
of the fore-legs was about two inches three cjuarrers long, it was 
thick and ftron:^, having a large rough fpine jutting forwards, 
and running half its length; the lower extremity of this thigh- 
bone, to which were faffened the '^Tibia and Fibula, grew very 
broad, being almoft an inch in breadth ; above, where this bone 
began to grow broad, there was on the outlide a large protube- 
rance, and on the indde a large oblong Foramen, or hollow paf- 
fage, formed by a fmall bone, arifing from the internal fore-part 
of the thigh-bone, where it began to grow larger, and was after- 
wards united to that part of the bafis of this bone, where the 
Fibula, or Focile rainus is joined ; juft in the middle of the bafis 
of this bone there was a large Sinus^ which backwards appeared 
deeper, looking into another deep Sinus of the Tibia, by which 
means thefe bones were fo firmly articulated together, as not to 
be eafily put out of joint ; the I'ibia, or Focile Afajus was a 
ftrong bone about two inches in length, which was extended up- 
ward's above a quarter of an inch above its articulation with the 
thigh-bone, and at the other end was faflened to the outward 
bone of the larfus ; the Fibula or Focih Minus, was a fmaller 
bone, placed more internally, and more forwards, and not ib long 
as the ^I'ibia, being articulated above, but not fo firmly, with 
the thigh-bone, and below with the internal bone of the 'larfus-^ 
for there were but two bones of the Tarfus, with each a Iraall 
Sinus, for receiving the heads of the Fociks: The bones of the 
Mctatarfus were four, or perhaps five, to which four fingers or 
toes of the fore-feet were joined ; the innermoll toe had but two 
articulations, or joints, but at the end was provided with a large 
hooked ftrong nail ; tXit other four fingers had each three joints, 
armed with hooked nails, as the firft : The hinder legs were 
fattened to the trunk of the body by the Os innominatum, which
