to the Anus, they raeafured Thirteen Feet and three Inches, v'?%. from 

 the Fylort0 to the C£CHm or beginning of the Colon ^ was Nine Foot Ten 

 Inches ; and the Colon and Rectum were Three Feet and Five Inches long. 

 The CuecHKt here, or Appendiada ver/fiiformk^ was Four Inches and three 

 quarters long. So that the length of the Guts here, in proportion to 

 the length of the Body, is much the fame as 'tis in a Man. But in two 

 of the Sapajom differed by the Parifians, the whole Inteftines were but 

 Five Foot two Inches ^ and in the other two Monkeys^ Eight Foot long. 

 So that herein our Pj/gmk more refembles a Man , than their Monkeys 

 did. 



And as in the length, fo iikewife in other Circumftances, the Inte- 

 jiines of our Pygmre were liker to thofe of a Man^ than thofe of the 

 Monkey and Ape-kind are. For the Parrjians tell us, that in their Mon- 

 keys, the Intejlines were almoU all of the fame bignefs, and that the Ileon 

 rcas in proportion a great deal bigger^ than in a Man. In our Subjeft we 

 found a fenfible difference. For the fntaU Guts^ which were much of a 

 bignefs, being a little extended, meafured in Compafs about Two Inches 

 and three quarters. The Colon was Three Inches and three quarters 

 about ; and the Appendkula Vermiformk ( which was in our Pygmie as 

 'ris in a Man^ and is not to be met with in Apes and Monf^eys ) was 

 about the bignefs of a Goofe-quiil. It's length I have mentioned before. 



Into the Duodenum of our Pjgmie, a little below the Pylorus^ were 

 inferted the Du&u-s Comtmink of the Gall^ and the Dh&ks Pancreaticm ^ 

 they both emptying them.felves into the Gut at the fame Orifice as is 

 ufual in Man. And the fame is obierved Iikewife by Drelfnco^irt in the 

 Male Ape he difledted, where he tells us, a Pyloro qui videtur fuggrtinda 

 effe circtilark & carnofa principio Ecphyfeos pr£pofita , ad foran/en ufqiie 

 intra eandem Ecphyfitt Commune Du&iti Bilario €^ hVirzimgiano, pracife 

 pol/ex ejl Mathematicus ; ab illo aiitem for amine intra duplicem Ecphyfeos

 tatem, rarfufque ab eodem Intejiinali foramine idem fiilm comptdfm eU in 

 DuBum Wir%ungia7mm. But the Parifians obferved in the Monkeys, that 

 the Jvfertion of the Duftus Pancreaticus into the Intejiine, (ivhich in Man 

 i'S always niar ^/te Porus Bilarius) reas Two Inches dijiant there-fi-om. So 

 that in this Particular the Monkey does not fo much refemble a Man, as 

 Apes and ovir Pygmie do. 



The Convolutions and Windings of the fmal/ Guts in our Pygmie ^ 

 and their Situation, were much the fame, as in a Man : And they were 

 all plentifully irrigated with Blood-Vejfels. In the inward Coat of the 

 Intejiines I could obferve the Miliary Glands, defcribed by Dr. WiUk 3 

 as alfo thofe larger cluflers of Glands, mentioned by Joh. Conrad. Peyerm. 

 The Colon I thought proportionably longer, than 'tis in a Man. It had 

 the hmt Ligaments and Cells, and leaves of Fat hanging to it, as a Man's 



hath ;
