mafiy on the left^ thefcvetith was in the. Cavity of the Mediaftine, as in ths 

 generality of brutes. This again makes a notable difference between the iw- 

 ternal parts of the Ape, and thofe (?/Man, whofe Lungs have generally at 

 the rdosi hut five Lobes, oft ener but four ^ and fometimes hut two. Vefalius 

 affirms that he never faw in Man thk fifth Lobe, which he reports to be in 

 Apes, fuppofing that they have but five. The Paflage that the Varifians 

 hint at in Vefalius is this, Lobum auiem qui in Canihus, fimiifque Vcn<e Ca^ 

 V£ Caudiceni fnfidcit, nunquam inhomine obfervavi , & hunc iUo defiitm 

 certo- ceriiusfcio, quamvis interim Galeni locus in feptimo de adminifiran- 

 dis DiffeUionibus mihi memoria non exciderit, quo inqitit, quintnm hunc 

 Vul'monk Lobum eos non latere, qui reSe fe^ionem adminifirant ; innuens 

 Herophilo & Marino ejufmodi Lobum fuijfe incognitum, uti fani fidt^ 

 cum illi Hominnm Cadavera, non autem cum ipfo, fimiarum ac Canum dun- 

 taxat aggrederentnr, in quibus prsfenti Lobo nihil eft manifefiim. (72) 

 Tho' Gakn be herein miftaken , Vefalius certainly is too fevere in his 

 Cenfure, in charging him, that he never difrefted any thing but Apes 

 and Dogs 5 for the contrary evidently appears in abundance of Inftan- 

 ces, that might be produced. And one v^^ould think he had not dif- 

 fered Apes and Monkeys in making but five Lobes in their Lungs^ 

 whereas in either there are more. In vs^hat he argues, that this fifth 

 Lobe in a Man could not lie upon the Vena Cava ; becaufe in a Man the 

 Pericardium is fattened to the Diaphragm, and the Vena Cava enters 

 there, and ib immediately pafles to the Heart ; this is true , and the 

 fame I obferved in our l^ygmie. So that in the formation of this Part, 

 our Pygmie exactly refembles a Man 5 and is different from both the 

 Monkey and Jf e-kind. The former we have feen 5 as to the latter, 

 Drelincoiirt tells us in the Male Ape ^ Pulmo dexter quadrifidm , Lohus 

 Irfimta omnium crajjijjfmm , fuperior minus craffus , intermedius reaps? 

 medim fitu & magnitudine. §>uartui denmm crenam infculptam habet , 

 qua parte Cava fulcrum prxbet. Pulmo finifter hifidus , & Lobus ejus 

 fuperior bifurcatus. So in the Female Ape, Lobi Ptdmonk dextri totalitey

The Trachea or Wind-pipe m our Pygmie was altogether the fame as 

 in a Man \ confifting of a regular order of Cartilaginous Annuli ^ which 

 were nor perfedly continued round ^ but tov/ards the Spine, were joyn= 

 ed by a ftrong Membrane. Drelincourt faith of it, Trachtcts annulife ha-?
