hath ; and the fituation, was the fame : but it being fo long, it had 

 more windings than ufually. The P^rijians obferved in their Monkeys^ 

 that the Colon was not redoubled like an S. <h in Man^ being quite jlraii, 

 Drelineotirfs Ape was more like ours, for fpeaking of the Colon, he faith, 

 retorquetitr varie antequam prodttcat Re&um ^ re/Mas habet ttt in Homing 

 For the length of the Colon in the Monkeys differed by the Varifians;^z% 

 but thirteen Inches ; and an Inch in Diameter 5 whereas, the Colon of 

 our Pygmie with the Rei^u^/, was three Foot five Inches, as I have men- 

 tioned 'j and therefore liker to a Man's , and requiring, thefe convolutt- 

 ons the more. 



in a Man the Intepnes are commonly diftinguifhed into Inteftina. Te- 

 nuia and Crajfa : The Temna are fubdivided into the Diwdenmn jejunum ^ 

 and Ikon ^ The Craffa^ into the C£cum^ Colon and Re£lnm : and the Ce- 

 cuKt commonly is reputed that AppendicuU Vermiformis , which is placed 

 at the beginning of the G/<?», where the Ikon empties it felf into it. 

 Now this Part in a M<?», being fo fmall ; and being obferved never to 

 contain any Excrement ; I can't think, that it deferves the Name of an 

 Intejijne, much lefs to be reputed one of the Crajfa. 'Tis true , in 

 Brutes^ this part is often found to be very large and capacious ; and to 

 be filled w\t\\f£ces ^ and in fuch, it may be juftly efteemed an Intejiine. 

 As in a Rabit, 'tis very long and hath a Cochlear Valve ^ fo in an Oflridge^ 

 there are two Cecums 5 each a yard long, with a like Valve. But in 

 Man, 'tis far different. Many therefore do not think this Procejfm Ver~ 

 miformk , to be the C£cum 5 but r.uher take for is, that bunching out of 

 the beginning of theC<?/^«^ which is projeded beyond the entrance of 

 t\\tlk<^n-^ which in the Common Ape and Monkey is more, than in a 

 Man. However, I think it not enough,as to make it a diftinft Intefljne-^ 

 and the number of the Jnteflines in a Man^ ought to be made fewer. 



Our Pygmie therefore having this Procejjus Verm: for jnJs in all Clrcum- 

 flances, fo like to that in 2.Man f, and Monkey s^x\^ ^/le/ having nothing 

 like it : it is a remarkable difference of our Subjeft from them, and an 

 agreement to the Strufture of a Humane Body. So the Pari fans tell us 

 in their Monkeys, tJje Ctsaim had 710 Vermiform Appendix. So in the A^e 

 diflefted by Blaf/nf, he feith , Proceffus Vermiformis intotnm hie defidera- 

 tur. And fo Drelincourt, Crecum caret Epiphyf Vermiformi^ qnalem homi- 

 nes habent. We will fee therefore, what kind of C<ca(m'i\s, that they 

 defcribe in the Monkeys and Apes. 



The Parifians tell us , in the Diflection of their Monkeys 5 That the 

 CsECum tvas very large, containing -two Inches and half in length 5 and aft 

 Inch Diameter at the beginning : it went pointing, and wai fortified by three 

 Ligaments, like as the Colon if in Man ^ there to form little Cells , thk 

 Conformation is 'wholly different from that df a Man's Caecum. °Tis true, 'tis 

 more projefted, than in a Man ; So Bla_fus in his Ape , makes it jutting
