 inter cojial parts were filled with it, as in Tab. 10. Fig. 15. in fo 

 much that if all the ribs were thus qualified, the whole chefi of 

 that Animal muft needs be one bone. This was found about Ox- 

 ford, and given me by the Right Reverend Father in God, Thomas 

 Lord Bifhop of Lincoln. And there are two other rifo joyned 

 in like manner, to be feen in the Repofitory in the Medicin School. 

 But I find this has happened not only to Beaffs, butfomtimes to 

 Men, who have been always remarkable for their prodigious 

 firength ; whereof in their refpe&ive places as I meet them here- 

 after.
