 I did not obferve thofe inequalicies in the Juperjice which he reprefents 

 in his, to QyL\{i[ntt\\& conglomerate Glands. "Tis true, having injeded 

 the Spleen of our Pj/gmie, the Mercury filling the cllulated body of the 

 Spleen, did make an appearance on the furfare fomewhar- like thofe ine- 

 qualities in \i\i figure. But Frederic, de Rufeh (65) is very poiitive, that 

 neither thofe G/<««i5?j', nor Ce^j- mentioned oy Malpighius, ire to be met 

 with in a Humane Spleen : tho' he grants, ttiat they are in the Spleen of 

 Brutes. Drelincourt in the Female Ape faith, Lien Scalenum figura refert, 

 coh£ret Rent finifiro &• liber ei? a Diaphragmate, And in the Male Ape 

 he obferves, Lien triangularis © crajjior qnam in fcemini, Pancreas ex-

We (hall therefore now proceed to the Pancreas, which in our Pyg- 

 r/iie wasfituated, juft as it is in a Humane Body ; lying under the iS'f*?- 

 «?rf(r/j,tranfverfe to the Spine/roiu the Spleen towards the Liver. It was 

 about two Inches long, about half an Inch broad, of a white yellowifh 

 Colour ; it's furface uneven, being made up of abundance of Glands 5 

 it's Secretory DiiB s.m'^Ut^ itfelf into the Duodenum, juft where the Dh- 

 ^us Communis of the Gall doth, as I have mentioned before. 



The Parifians in their Monkeys obferved, that f^e Pancreas had only it's 

 figure, which made it to refemble that of .Man ; it's connexion, and infer' 

 tion being wholly particular. For itvpas jlrongly fafiened to the Spleen'.^ and 

 the infertion of it's Ductus into the Intefiine (which in Man is always near 

 the Porus Bilarius) ivas two Inches dijiant theref-om. Blafius in his Ape 

 defcribes it thus; Pancreas ventriculo J ubftratum, folida admodilem fub/ian^

 the Porus Bilarius. Pancreas connatnm Lienali Cauda , d^ extremo Rent

 Tho' in th^Male Ape he tells us, 'tis inferted into the Duodenum at the 

 fame Orifice with the Du^ of the Gall , as I have already mentioned and 

 quoted before.
