514 MEM OIKS of the 
mals as live upon fruits, roots, herbs, ^c. the queflion is, 
whether it does generally hold, or how far, that animals that 
arc not carnivorous have fuch a Colon, or fomewhat equivalent, 
and thofe that are carnivorous have it not ? 
To begin with thofe animals that are carnivorous, and have 
no Cohn or large Ceecutn, tho' thefc may have the ^ppendkuU 
Vermi-formiSy yet if that is not extended, or filled with the 
F<eces, which the other guts contain, Dr. l^yfon does riot think 
it fhould properly be efteemed, as a diftin6l gut, or be reckon'd 
in that number, fince here it does not perform the office of one, 
in containing the food, or excrement 5 fo in a man 5 in dogs, 
and other animals, when it is thus contrafled. Dr. ^yfon excludes 
it out of the number of the inteftines, tho* by ufe and cuftom, 
(for which he {tt^ no reafon) it is commonly reckon'd one of the 
Inteftina crajfa-. Amongft animals therefore that have noColOfij 
or large C<ecum, tho' lome of them have this ^ppendicula Vermi- 
formiSy and are carnivorous, he reckons, i. The dog- kind; 
under which, befides their own fpecies, may be included the fox, 
the wolf, the Coati mundi^ the badger, the otter, ^c, 2. The 
vermin-kind, as the weefel, the fitchet, the pole-cat, the martin, 
^c. both thefe kinds have a bone in the \PeniSy and no Colojt or 
Caecum 5 fome have the Appendicula Vermi-formis, and all are 
carnivorous. 3. The cat-kind, befides their own Ipecies inclu- 
ding, the lyon, the tyger, ^c. it is true the French Memoirs 
tell us, that a Ijon had a Colon 18 inches long, and an A^pendi- 
cula Vermi-fcrtnis three inches j yet Dr. T^fon queftions whe- 
ther this may be properly called a Colon -, for tho' the gut about 
this place may be more extended than in other?, yet it has not 
thofe ligaments, whereby the gut is corrugated into cells, 
as in a human body^ h likewife, as to the Colon in a cat. 
4. A boar hath no Colon or decum. 5. Nor has a mole any. 
In the next place Dr. lyfon comes to confider thofe animals that 
are not carnivorous, which have a Colon or Cascum, or both ; for 
as to Dr. WalUs\ query, he thinks it much the fame, whether 
they have either one of thefe only, or both ; provided, that the 
capacit)/ of the gut there be large and contain Faces -^ as r. The 
horfe-kinds. 2. The elephant. 5. The dromedary and camel. 
4. The leveral fpecies of the fwine-kind. 5. The Guiney pig. 
6, The Beaver. 7. The hare-kind. 8. The ape and monkey- 
kinds. Now there are feveral animals not carnivorrms that have 
a large C<ecum and no Colon 5 as, i. The neat-kinds. 2 The 
iheep-kinds. 5. The flag-kinds. 4. The goat-kind. 5. The 
antelope. C. The fquirrel-kind. 7. The rat-kind. Eut not^
