How the Organs of Generation are in the Female of this Species oF A- 

 nimals^ I have had no opportunity of informing my felf. But by Ana- 

 logy I can't but think, they muft be very like to thofe of a Woman^ fince 

 they are To even in Monkeys and Apes in feveral refpedt 5 tho' in fome, 

 they imitate the Structure of thefe Parts in Brutes. Thus the Parifi- 

 ans obferve , The generative Parts of the Female had alfo a great many 

 things which rendered them different fom thofe of Bitches, herein refembling 

 thofe of Women ^ there tverefome of them likevpife which were as in Bitches, 

 and after another manner than in Woman 5 for the exteriour Orifice was 

 round and fir ait, as itt Bitches, and the generality of other Brutes, and had » 

 neither Nymphse nor Carunculs. The Necl^ of the Bladder had it's hole 

 other wife than in Woman, being very far in the Neck^ of the Matrix, viz. 

 towards the middle, at the place where it's roughnefs began, which werefeen 

 only towards the extremity of the Dudtus near the Internal Orifice. The 

 Trunks of the Matrix were alfo different fiom thofe of Women, and refem- 

 bling thofe of Brutes in that they were proporiionably longer , and more redou- 

 bled by various turnings. The Clitoris had fomething more conformable to 

 that which is feen in other Brutes that have it, than in that of Women, be- 

 ing proportionably greater, and more vifible than it is in Women. It was 

 compofed of two Nervous and Spongious Ligaments, which proceeding from 

 the lower part of the Os Pubis, and obliquely advancing to the fides of thefe 

 Bones, did unite to form a third Body, which was ten lines in length. It 

 was forKted by uniting of the two fir ^, which a very flrong Membrane joy n- 

 . ed together, going f-om one of the Ligaments to the other , befides a hard 

 and nervous Membrane which inveloped them. They terminated at a Gland 

 like to that of the Penis of the Male. The little Mufcles, which were fafi- 

 ned to thefe Ligaments, proceeded as ufual from the tuberofities of the Ifchi- 

 Utn. Thefe Ligaments were of Subflance fo thin and j^ongious , that the 

 ■wind penetrated, and made them eafily to fwell, when blown into the Net- 

 work, of the Veins and Arteries which is in this place. This Network^ was 

 vifible in this Subjetf, being compofed of larger Vejfels than they proportionably 

 are in Women. It was fitnated as ufual/y under thefecond pair of Mufcles of 

 ^/>e Clitoris. It's figure ivas Pyramidal, ending fiom a very large ^Sids in a 

 point, which run along the third Liga^fent to it's extremity towards the 

 Qlanfl.
