We come now to defcrlbe the Tefles, which in our Pjgme were not 

 contained in a pendulous Scrotum, as they are in Man, but more contrad- 

 ed and purfed up by the outward Skin, nearer to the Os Pubis, and were 

 feated by the fides of the Penis, without the Os Pubis 5 and I obferved 

 them bunching out there , before the Difledion 5 fo that it feemed to 

 want a Scrotum ; or at leaft the Skin which inclofed them , was not fo di- 

 lated, as to hang down like a Cod 3 but contrafted them up nearer to the 

 Body of the Penis 5 which to me feems a wife Contrivance of Nature. 

 For hereby thefe Parts are lefs expofed to the injuries, they might other- 

 wife receive in climbing Trees, or other accidents in the Woods. How- 

 ever, the outward Skin here that inclofes them , performs altogether the 

 office of a Scrotum. And if I miftake not, I obferved that Sepimentum, 

 as in a Humane Scrottim ^ which is made by a defcent of a Membrane there, 

 which divides each Tejiicle from one another. 



But whether the Tejies being thus clofely purfed up to the Body,mighe 

 contribute to that great falacioufnefi this Species of Animals are noted for, 

 I will not determine ; Tho' 'tis faid, that thefe Animals , that have their 

 Tejiicles contained within the Body, are more inclined to it, than others. 

 That the whole ^pe-kind is extreamly given to Venery, appears by infi- 

 nite Stoifies related of them. And not only fo, but different from other 

 Brutes, they covet not only their ovpn Species , but to an Excefs are in- 

 clined and folHcitous to thofe of a different, and are moft amorous of 

 fair Women. Befides what I have already mentioned , Gabriel Clauderus 

 (68) tells us of an Ape, which grew fo amorous of one of the Maids of 

 Honour, who was a celebrated Beauty, that no Chains, nor Confinement, 

 nor Beating, could keep him within Bounds ; fo that the Lady was for- 

 ced to petition to have him bani(hed the Court. But that Story of Cajia- 

 nenda m his Annals o( Portugal (if true) is very remarkable 5 of a Wo- 

 man who had two Children by an Ape. I (hall give it in Latin, as 'tis 

 related by Licetus ; and 'tis quoted too by AntoH. Deujingius (6<^') and 

 others*
