The- Anatomy of a TYG MI E, 15 



So Pliny, Vifcerii. et'iam intenora cmnia ad Exe/fjplar. But I find this a 

 great Miftake. For, as we (hall (hew, our Fygmie, who comes much 

 nearer to a Man in the Strudture of the inward Parts, than either Apes 

 or Monkeys^ yet in a great many things is very different ; but where it 

 is fo, there it refembles an Ape. But on the other hand, Albert!./^ Mag- 

 nus is much more mifcaken, who will not allow any likeneis at all. 

 For fpeaking of an Ape, he tells us, (28) Et fimt in afzte hab'nis drxi- 

 mus^ bomini in exterioribus fimile exijiens , in miUo Jimilitudinem hahet 

 cum interioribm homink , ^ minus fere omnibus aliis Beflik. Galen (29) is 

 much more in the right, who acknowledges a very great fimilitude be- 

 tween an Ape and a Man, both in the outward and inward Parts, where 

 he tells us, Ka) 7n9^>i05 dTrnviaiv r^ ^lim lif.coi6lct7oq a.vQ^'J>Tra>, ly a-TiXdl'^vci,

 moji like a Man of any ^ladruped :In the Vifcera and the Mufcles^and in the 

 Arteries^ and Veins and Nerves, hecaufe 'tk fo in the ftruUiire of the Bones. 

 For 'tk from their make, that it walks on two Legs, and ufes its fore-limbs as 

 Hands. It hath the largeji Breaji of any ^adruped, and Clavicles or Collar- 

 bones like a Man, and a round Face, and a fmall or Jljort Neck: 



All which is very agreeable to our Pygmie, whom we fhall find 

 more exa(!l:ly to anfwer this Character, than an Ape. And now having 

 compared our Pygmie with this general Defcription that Arifiotle gives of 

 the Jpe-kind 5 we (hall compare him with himfelf, by taking the diffe- 

 rent Dimenfions oi the feveral Parts, as well as of the whole Body j and 

 fhall obferve what Proportions they had to one another. 



As. from the top of the Head, to the heel of the Foot in a ftrait Line, 

 it meafured Twenty fix Inches. The Girth of the Body in the biggefl 

 part about the Cartilago Enfiformk, was Sixteen Inches j over the Loim 

 'twas Ten Inches about. The Compafs of the Head over the Eyes and 

 Ears, Thirteen Inches and a half. The aperture of the Eye-lids, three 

 quarters of an Inch. From one corner of the Mouth, to the other, Two 

 Inches and a quarter. From the middle of the upper Lip to the Eye- . 

 brow, 'twas two Inches three quarters. From the Eye-brov/ to the Oc- 

 ciput Seven Inches and a half. The Perpendicular Diameter of the Ear 

 from the Top to the Lobe, was Two Inches and a half. The Horizontal 

 Diameter of the Ear" was an Inch and half. The Verge or Compafs of 

 the Ear about, was near Five Inches and a half. Where the Ear was 

 faftened to the Head, it meafured above an Inch and half. From the Cla- 

 vicula or Collar-Bone, to the Penk, Ten Inches. From the Cartilago En-- 

 /for mk to the Nivd, Three Inches and a half. From the Navel to the 

 Penk, Three Inches. The diftance between the two TeatSjThree Inches
