26 Qrang'-Outang five Homo Sylvejlris : Or, 



Together with the Skin^ we took off" the Maram^ or Brcafisj which 

 ftuck clofe to it : And in our Subjed, being a Male, they were but fmall 

 and thin 5 yet I could plainly perceive they were made up of abundance 

 of (mail Glands. I have already mentioned, how large the Breafis are 

 in the Female Orang-Ontang^ and the Bark, fo that no Woman s are larger. 

 hs to th€\r Situation, and their being placed upon tht Pe&oral Mafcles, 

 this I find is common to the Ape-kind : And they are fo defcribed by the 

 Pari/ians (42) in the Monkeys they differed ; as alfo in the Jpes diffefted 

 by Drelincourt : (43) And becaufe I (hall have frequent occafion of re- 

 ferring to thefe Authors, unlefs I fignifie otherwife, I (lull always raeait 

 the Places here quoted, without mentioning them any more. 



InBrtitesj next under the Skin, lies a Mufadom Membrane, which 

 therefore is call'd Pannicidus Carnofm, which gives a motion to it, where- 

 by they can fliove oft what offends them. In Man 'tis otherwife 5 for 

 next to the Sh^n, lies the Memhrana Adipofa ^ or the Fat, and under that, 

 tht Membrana Carnofa : And the fame I obferved in oar Pygmie -^ for 

 the Es^ here lay next to the 54z». Drelincourt, in the ^f ej he diffeded, 

 obferved the Pannicdus Carnofm next to the Sk^n,2iS 'tis in Brutes. For in 

 the Male Ape, he tells us, Adeps nuUm inter Panniculnm Carnofum & Cutim 5. 

 and in the Female, Pannicnlffs Carnofm citti coh^rens, nttUo adipe inter- 

 je&o, Adipofus nullus. So that in this Particular, our Pygmie is like ta 

 zMafi, and different from the Ape-kind,. 



Having feparated the Skin and Membrana Adipofa, which in our Sub- 

 jtOi was not very thick, it being emaciated by it's illnefs, we come now 

 to the Mufcles. But I (hall referve my felf to treat of them in the My- 

 dogy. Next under the Mufcles was the Peritonmm, a Common Mem- 

 brane, that lines all the, infide of the Abdomen, and fends a common 

 outward Membrane to all the Vifcera contained therein, and fo fecures 

 their Situation. In this Membrane in ^ladrnpeds there is in the Groin 

 of each fide, a Perforation, or rather a Procejfm, by which the Seminal 

 Veffels pafs down to the Teftes in the Scrotum, as is very plain in Dogs 

 and other Animals. But in Man, whofe Pofture is ereSt, 'tis otherwife. 

 For here thefe Veffels pafs between the two Coats, that make up this Mem- 

 brane, the Periton£Hm , fq that the inward Coat, that refpefts the Cavity 

 of the Abdomen, is altogether entire, and continued^ and 'tis only the 

 outward Coat that is protruded into this Procefs ; and this for a very 

 good Reafon. For otherwife, a Man, whofe Pofture is ere^, would 

 be conftantly liable to an Hernia, or a Rupture 5 which happens when 

 this inward Coat is protruded down likewife ; and if there be a defcene 

 of the Intefiines, 'tis then call'd Entero-cele : If of the Omentum, Epiploo- 

 cele. In our Pygmie I obferved the Peritomeum, in this refpeft, to be
