 mh exaftly imitated that in a Mm. 



How the Strudure of thefe Veffds are in Monkeys^ the 'Parijians do nof 

 tell us, and their /^are is very imperfed^ as is likewife that in BUfim^ 

 which feems altogether fidtitious. What he writes,is this ^ Arteria magna 

 circa Kenem dextrum fuccnmbit Vena Cav£^ €^ ubi Jliacos Radios confiitml: 

 eandem fupergreditur 5 contra ac in Homine^ Cane, aliifque animalihm fieri, 

 reperimtfs-, ubi finiflra occupat, hinc h finijira ad dextram progreditur fnpra 

 Arteriam. So Drelincourt tells us in the Male Ape, Aorta, defcendens mox 

 atque hifurcatur equitat, & adfcendenti Cavs incmnbit. 



We come now to the Farts of Generation ; and ftiall begin with the 

 Vafa Pr£parantia i, The Arteries and Veins. The Spermatic Arteries m our 

 Vygmie do both arife out of the Trunk of the Aorta, a little below the 

 Emulgent Arteries, as in ouv figure 3 and after having ran a little way,they 

 meet with the Spermatic Vein ; and are both included in a common Cap- 

 fida, and fo do defcend to. the Tefles. Thefe Arteries do carry the blood 

 to the Tefi:es, from whence the Serften is afterwards feparated 5 the refi- 

 due of the Blood is return'd from the Tejies by the Spermatic Veins -^ 

 whereof that on the right fide enters into the Trunk of the Vena Cava, & 

 little below the right Emulgent Vein ; and that of the left, is emptied 

 into the \th Emulgent Vein , )uft all one as it is in a Humane Body. Ha- 

 ving injefSted the Spermatic Vein with Mercury, it difcovered abundance 

 of VeiTels, running waviiig ; which otherwife did not appear; and a 

 great many of them were extreamly fine and fmall. 



The Parifiatis give no defcription of the Spermatic Vejfels in their Mon- 

 key's j-and in their figure the left Spermatic Vein is omitted, or left out.- 

 Thomas Bartholine (67) in his Anatomy of a Mamomet (which he de- 

 fcribes, as not having a Tail ; and therefore it mud be of the J/ig-kind, 

 and not a Cercopithecm, or a Monl^y, as he calls it) in his figure of thefe 

 parts, reprefents the left Spermatic Vein, emptying it felf into the left 

 Emulgent, as it is in our Creature. Blafif/iP therefore in the account ©f 

 the Ape he diflefted, muft be miftaken j both in his figure and defcription. 

 too 5 for in the former, .he reprefents the left Spermatic Vein running in- ' 

 to the Trunk of the Cava ; and juftifies it in the latter 5 in telling us, 

 Vafa Spermatica ntroque latere ex Trunco Cav£ & Aort<R oriuntur, '& quidem 

 idfiori loco eaquafunt l^teris dextri, inferiore qu£ finifiri. But DrelincoHft 

 certainly is more in the right, who informs us, that in the Male Ape lie 

 diflefted, Vena Spermatica dextra crajfa, ^ ab interieri trunco Cav£ adfcen- 

 dentk poUice inpa Emulgentem finifram enafcitur , fiirculofque cmittit fini- 

 ftros in Membranas vicinas. Arteria. Spermatica dextra a trunco anferiori
