had a large fquob Belly. We (hall prefently give the Dimenfions of all 

 the Parts, as foon as we have done with this Text of Arijlotk. 



We (hall hereafter farther confider the ftrufture of the Foot in the 

 Ofleology^ where we (hall defcribe the Os Calck, and, fhew how well it 

 performs its Office, when this Animal ftands ere6t. But fince Nature 

 defign'd it not always to live on the Ground, but to get it's Prey in 

 the Trees- likewife, it hath very wifely formed this Part like a Hand, by 

 which means it can more eafily climb them ; and when there, (hift much 

 better by this Contrivance 5 as I have (hewn in myDifcourfe (27) upon 

 the Carigitejia, feu Marfupfak Amerkafium^ or the Anatomy of an Ofojfum ; 

 which Animal had its hinder fee? formed like Hands 



(p) Arift. They live moft of their time as ^udrupeds more than a^ 

 Bipeds^ or ereB, 



Our Merchants tell me, when firft they take Apes or Monh^ys^ to learn 

 them to go ereft, they ufually tye their Hands behind them. And I 

 am of the Philofopher's Mind, that Naturally they go more on all Four, 

 than ereft. But whether 'tis fo in our Pyg^ie^ I do fufpeft 3 fince walk- 

 ing on it's Knuckles, as our Pygmie did, feeras no Natural Pofture 3 and 

 'tis fufficiently provided in all refpeds to walk ereflr. 



(q^ Arift. As ^adrupeds they have no Buttocks j as Bipeds^ no Tails i, 

 er hut very little.^ like a jljenv of one. 



Our Pygmie had Buttocks or Nates^ as we fhall fee in the Myology., but 

 not fo much as in Man. The Os Jfchij or Coxcndix was very different , 

 as appears in the Skeleton, and as I fhall defcribe in the Ojieology. Our 

 Pygmie had no Tail, but an Os Coxygis, as is in Man, which outwardly- 

 made a little appearance, as in my Second Figure, and may be what Ari- 

 (iotle Remarks. Scaliger has this Note upon it : Caud£ notam five vejii- 

 gium animadvertit, quant vix Oculk deprehendas. TaSlu tamen fubejfe in- 

 telligas, quam fi attra&^are tentes, prompt a miraque celeritate fefe fubtrahit, 

 ridicula indignatione Ufum pr£ fe fert. , 



(r) Arift. The Female hath the Privy-parts, like a Woman ; hut the Male^ 

 more like a Dog's, than a Man's. 



Our Subjeft was a Male, and this Part here wag nothing like a Dog's. 

 For in the Penis of a Dog there is a large Bone, which is not in thQ Ape 

 and Mi?«%)'-kind. Scaliger s Note here does not make out the Aflertion : 

 Canimim Genitale dixit SimiJ, non temere t, nodos enim quojdam deprehen-. 

 dimtis : differt autem figura Glaftdis. I did not obferve thefe Nodes 

 here ^ but of this, more in the Anatomy of this Part. 



(j) Arift. TheCt\)\ (^ as was f aid before') have Tails : As to the Vifcera 

 they have them all like a, Man
