The Anatomy of a T YG M I B. 4.7 



The refi of the Parts of Generation were like to thofe of Wo/^nn. J he 

 Neck^of the Bladder had it's Mufcles as in Women : For there were a great 

 number of flefiy Fibres^ pphich proceeding Jrom the S^hinCtcr of the Anus, 

 tvere fajiened to the Jides of the Neck^of the Uterus , and other fach li\e Fi- 

 bres which did come from the Sphinfter of the Bladder to infert thcmfelves 

 at the fame place. The Body of the Uterus^ it's Membranes^ internal Ori- 

 fice, it's Ligaments as well the round as broad, and all it's Veffels had a. 

 conformation intirely lih^to that, which thefe fame Parts have in Women. 

 The Tefticles, which were ten lines long, and two broad, were as in Women, 

 compofed of a great number offmall Bladders, and faflned near the Mem- 

 branes which are at the extremity of the Tubx, and which is called their 

 Fringe. 



Drelincourt hath very little on this Subject , all he faith is , Urethra 

 riibicundafolida & brevk. Vagina admodum rugofa, monticulum habens in. 

 medio , Papillk extuberans ut in Palato , PoUicem longa,tranfverfim fciffa, 

 PoUicem lata. Orificium interius valdi folidum. Cervix interior admodum 

 dura, & pauto intrh ofculum internum duritie cartilaginofi. 



We (hall proceed now to the Parts of the Middle Venter,t\\Q Thorax t, 

 and here, as the Parts are fewer, fo my Remarks will be alfo : and the 

 rather, becaufe in our Pygmie we obferved fo very little difference from 

 the Strudure of the fame Parts in a Man. I muft confefs I can't be fo 

 particular in all Circumftances , as I would , becaufe for the preferving 

 the Sceleton more entire, I did not take off the Sternum. However, I 

 obferved enough to fatisfie my felf with what I thought moft ma- 

 terial. 



This Cavity was divided from the Abdomen by the Diaphragm, whofe 

 Aponeurofis or Tendon feemed rather larger than in a Man : and the fecond 

 Mufcle which encompaffed the Gula, as it pafles through it, was very 

 fair. 



I made no Remarks upon the Pleura,^n^ Mediajlinum .° The Thymus 

 in our J^^^i/e was about an Inch long, and placed as 'tis in Man ^ 

 downwards 'twas divided, but upwards 'twas joyned together. So in 

 a Man I have often obferved it divided. Generally this part is larger 

 in Infants and Embrios than in grown Perfons , for the Reafons I have 

 frequently mentioned in my Anatomical Tenures. The Parifians obfer- 

 ved in their Monl^ys that the Thy mm was large. Blafius and DrelincourP 

 have no Remarks about it. 



The Lungs in our Pygmie had three Lobes on one fide, and but two on 

 the other, five in all. Their Colour, Subftance, Situation, and all- 

 Circumftances exadtly referable a Mrf«s. The Parifians tell us, that in-. 

 their Moneys the Lungs had feven Lobes, three on the right fide, and as
