 Fygmis. , 



Between the root of the Penis, and neck of the Bladder^ is feated the 

 Cerpm GUndKlofiwt, or the Pro^at£, which in our P)ig/f/ie appeared the 

 fame as in Man. The Parijians tell us in their Monkeys that they were 

 fmall. BUJiuf in his/^«re, befides the Predates, which he faith are 

 Glandula vejick adfians, albidior folidiorqae reprefents another , at the 

 betters (H. H.) viz. GlanduU alia, major, rnhicnnda ^ plexn Nervoruffr^ 

 aliontmqHe vajorum pradita 5 which is no Gland, but the Bnlb of the Pe- 

 »k. Drelincourt in his Ape tells us, Corpora Glandfdofa duos veliit Nates^ 

 circa vefias cervicem fuprh Sphin^erem exhibent. 



We come now to the Penis, which in our Pygmie was two Inches 

 long ; the girth of it at the root was an Inch and a quarter 5 but it 

 grew taperer towards the end. It had no f-anum , fo that the Prapuce 

 could be retraded wholly down --, and herein our Pygmie is different 

 from a Man. The Slit of the Penk here was perpendicular as inaMz»o 

 In the^wre the P^^rT/Jkwj- give us, it feems to be horizontal, as it is 

 plainly reprefented by BarthoUne in his third and fourth figure of his Ma- 

 momet, altho' by his fecond figure one would think otherwife. Whe- 

 ther there was any Balanus or Gkns in the Penk of onr Pygmie,ox whar 

 it was, I am uncertain : I do not remember I obferved any. In my 

 ■ third figure the Penk is reprefented decurtased at the end , and v/ithou£ ' 

 the Pr^putiuffi, which was left entire to the Skin. DrecUncourt's account ' 

 of it in the Ape is this 5 Genitale prorsxf expers eli fianuli ac proinde Pr^° 

 putium. dtvolvitur ad radicem ufque Penis , & denudatur Glans ipfa, atque 

 Penk integer. Balanus confimilk virili, excepto fi-£nulo , atque praterea 

 hiatum maximum exhihet, qua parte Ligament a Cavernofa definant, ^ Glans" 

 ntrinque prominet. At the root of the Penk of our Pygmie , we obfer- 

 ved the Mufculi Ere^ores to be ftiort, and thicker proportionably than in 

 a Man 5 and the Ligamentum Sujpenforium larger : The Mufculus accele- 

 rator TJrin£ was large, covering the Bulb of the Cavernom body of the 

 Urethra. The Corpora Nervofi, or thtWo Cavernou-s bodies of the Penk 

 were divided length-ways by a Sepimentum in the middle , as in Man. 

 In the Urethra likewife there was a Cavernombcdy. The Peffels'oi the 

 Penk anfwered exadly to thofe oi^Man.

 miftaken^ for in our Subjed 'twas yery-plainly divided, b-jf mors it- '
