The Anatomy of a T Y G M I E. 1 1 



The Philofopher here obferves, That the Ape-kind, common with H«- 

 »iaKe, have the TAamntis on the Sternum or Breaft , which is different 

 ixomBmUs. And tho' the E/e/'/j^wi herein feems fomewhat alike, yet 

 he makes this diftinftion, (19) h Si iAdpag i'^ot [mv [am'^hc, ^'0, a?i\' «« &*• 

 TZiT 5-)i9&i, aMa vrpo? 7W fiiO&j. Juxta Fe^im poffus, quam in FeSore, as 

 Scaliger renders Ic , or as Theodorus Gaza^ non in Pe6fore^ fed paiilo citra. 

 And a little- after, (20) he more particularly expreffes himfelf, ;9 ■jS 

 lAsipc; iy&i -Tvut; fxa.'^Hc, ^o Treg/ to? fjujL^a.?\!x<;. bub Armk, as G^zi^ ren- 

 ders it :," ad Ax iL'as^ as Scaliger , where he further tells us, That the M^/e 

 as well as Female Elephant have thefe Teats ^ but they are very fmall, in 

 refpeft of the Bulk of it's Body, and fo placed that fide-ways, you can't 

 fee them. The Bear (he adds) hath four Teats 5 Sheep have but two, 

 and thofe between the hinder Legs ; Cows have four Teats there. Other 

 Animals (he faith) have thefe Teats in the middle of the Belly ^ and 

 ufually more numerous ; as the Dog and Swine-ktnd : But the Panther 

 hath but four in the Belly : The Camel hath two Mamm^ there, and four 

 Teats, as a Com ^ and a Lionefs but two there. 



But Apes and Monkeys have their Te<?fj upon the Breaji , as Womefs 

 have; and (21) Alberts Magnus gives this Reafon for it, Mammillas 

 autem habet in PeUore Jtcnt Midier, eb qtthd manus dedit ei Natur^a, qttibus 

 ad.PeBm potefi elevare partum, Jicut Mulier. Our Pygmie was a Male, 

 yet here the two Papills or Te<?^j- appeared very plain, and were exactly 

 .fituated as they are in Men. Tht Mamm£ or Breaji s WQte fmall and 

 thin, and not protuberant. The Female Ora^tg-Outang of (22) Bontius 

 is pictured with pendulous large Breajis, and they are fo defcribed by 

 (2:5) Tnlpitfs. And (24) Gaffendt^, in the Life of Peireskf, fpeaking 

 of the Barris, faith, Huic Mamm£ ad pedis Ipngitudinem. 



(A) Arift. They have Arms like a Man, but hairy 5 and they bend them 

 and the Legs as a Man does ; the flexion of the one being contrary to the 

 other. 



The Shoulder and Arm of our Pygmie were very hairy outwards, not 

 fo hairy inwards. The Contratendency of the Hair here, as that of the 

 Shoulder pointing downwards, and that of the Arm pointing upwards, 

 like Lucan's Pila minantia Pilis, I have already noted. This difference 

 I fhall here remark- of this fore-limb in our Pygmie, as well as in Apes 

 and Monkeys ; that 'tis longer in them proportionably, than in Man. I 

 (hall examine this Part more particularly in the Myology and OJieology. 



But the Curvature or Fledtion of the Arms and Legs in our Pygmie, as 

 alfo in i!^es and Monkeys, is juffc the fame as in Man ; the Arms bending 

 forwards, and the Legs backwards ; whereas in other Brutes, tht fleftion
