. The Jnatomy of a TYG M I E/ 3.7 



half an inch broad ; H had a great Dadus, rphich was immediatelji mferted 

 underneath the Pylorus. Thk Du6i:us received three others^ which inflead 

 of that^ which in Manis fingle^ and which is called Hepaticus^ thefe three 

 Duftus'j- had their Branches dijperfed like Roots into all the Lobes of the Li- 

 s^er, fo that the firii had four roots ^ viz. one in each of the three right Lobes ^ 

 and one in the fir li of the left ; thefecond and third Duftus had both their 

 roots in the fecond of the left Lobes, thefe branches did not run under the 

 Tunicle of the Liver ^ fo that they were apparent, and not hid in the Paren- 

 chyma, as they generally are. But in our Subjedi the diftribution of the 

 DuBus Hepaticus was altogether the fame as it is in Man. In the Mate- 

 Jpe, Drelincourt defcribing the Bladder of Gall, faith, Vefictda fellea longa.

 diat^ hsret merfa fiibfianti£ fecoris. 



The Dh&us Hepaticus' in our Pygmie iffued out of the Liver vi^ith twa 

 branches 5 one arifing from the right, the other from the left part of the 

 Liver ; and after a (hort fpace, joined into one Trunk ; and that, after 

 a little way, joyning with the DuBj0 Cy(licu<f, do form the DnSm Com-^ 

 munk, which empties it felf into the Duodenum a little below the Pylorus^ 

 at the fame Orifice with the Dnthis Pancreaticuf, exaftly as 'tis in Man, 

 as I have mentioned. 



At the Simom part of the Liver I obferved the Vena Porta to enter, as 

 likewife the Epatic Arteries and Nerves. And here in the Membrane about" 

 thefe Veflels , I obferved a pretty lar^e whitifh Gland. The Fen/t' 

 Z)mbilicalis entered the Liver at the fijfure. It feemed large, but I found' 

 It's Ji(ii{la or pipe was clofed. The Vena Cava iflued out of the Liver at 

 tViQ Convex p^irt, where 'twas joy ned- to the D/<jfp/jr<?^^/, 



In the Spleen o^om Pygmie I did not obferve any thing extraordinary, 

 or different from a Humane Spleen. It was of a lead Colour, and of the" 

 ftiape reprefented in our figure 3 'twas faftened by Membranes to the Peri- 

 ton£um-^zx]d by the Omentum and Vafabrevia to the Stomach,{o that upon 

 inflating the Stomach , the Spleen would be brought to lye dofe on 

 the Stomach, as if it was fafl-ened immediately there. The Spleen here 

 v/as two Inches and an half long 5 and one Inch and a quarter broad; and 

 feated as ufually in the left Hypochondre under the Baflard Ribs. The Ra- 

 mus Splenic//^ was very remarkable, fending it's Trunk along the Pancreas, 

 as in Maftj and having numerous branches near the Spleen^ 



The Parifians tell US, that in their Monkeys the Spleen was feated along '■ 

 theVentricle as- in Mair:^ but it's figure tvos different , in one of our Subjeits 

 being made as the Heart is reprefented in Blazonry 5 its Bafis containing an i 

 Inch. They give z figure of it, but nothing like that of ours, which- 

 more reprefented the figure of an Humane Spleen ^ tho' in Man its figure is- 

 often obferved very different. Blafius'imht^ Ape he difieded, obferves
