The P<?r7/<z;?j- tell us, that in fome of their Subjeds the Tefiides were 

 long (indjira'rt^ and bii^t one line in breadth^ and eight in length. In one of- 

 their Sapajous they were found of a figure quite contrary, and almoU en remote 

 fiom the figure of thofs of Man, being perfe^ly round. Drelincourt's ac- 

 count in \\\% Ape is, Tunica Elytroides fibris carnek a Cren/ajiere conj^erfa^ut

From the E,pididymk in our Pygmie (as it is in a Man") .was continued^ 

 the Vas Deferens 5 a flender DuBusj which conveys the Semen from the 

 Teftick to the Veficula Seminales. Thefe Veficulx W€re two celltdated 

 Bladders placed under the neck of the Bladder of Drine 5 which en the 

 outfide, did feera (as it were) nothing elfe but the Vas Deferens dilated, 

 and placed in a waving figure there. And as the Body of the Tejies 

 v/as made up of a curious convoluted Contexture of Seminal Vejfels , 

 v/hich running into fewer, form at laft the Body of the Epididymk 5 

 and thefe Veffels afterwards paffing all into one Z)«^, do make up the 

 Vas Deferens : fo this Vas Deferens here, being dilated and enlarged,does 

 form the VeJicuU Seminales. And the fame is in a Man. 



The Parifians here do take notice of that PalTage in Ariflotle T have 

 already quoted, where he likens the Parts of Generation in the Male Ape 

 ito thofe of a Dog^ more than a Man. But the Philofopher herein, is un- 

 der a Miftake^ for , as they inftance, in the Penk of a Dog , there is 

 ^ Bone, which is not in the Monkey s'^ fo likewife in Monkeys, there are 

 VejicuU Seminales, which are not to be met with in a Dog. They de- 

 fcribe them in their Monkeys thus : The Glandulom Proftatce were fmall ^ 

 the Paraftatse Gyrfoides were in requital very large \ they contained an Inch 

 in length ; thtir breadth was unequal , being four lines towards the neck, of 

 the Bladder, and a line and an half at the other end, differing herein from 

 ihofe of Man , who has them flendereU near the neck of the Bladder. They 

 Ti^ere compofed of fever al little Baggs, which opened into one another. The 

 Caruncle of the Urethra was fmall, but very like to that of a Man. Bla- 

 ftus hath given us ^ figure of thefe Parts , which I do not like 5 as nei- 

 ther that of the Parifians. He defcribes them thus : VeficuU Seminales 

 hlc valdh amplce, qu^e immiffo fiatu per du&um Seminalem Ejaculatorium in~ 

 fignithr intumefcunt. ^qd fipremantur, manifejiijjime ohfervamus Mate-
