As to the Ears, none could more refemble thofe of a -Muk, than our 

 Pjgme's-^ both as to the largenefs, colour, fliape, and ftrufture. Here 

 1 obferved the Helix, Ant-Helix, Concha, Alvearhim, Tragus, Anti-tragm, 

 and Lohtfs ; only the Cartilage was very fine and thin, and the Ears did 

 not lye fo flat to the Head, as they do in a Mayt. But that may be from 

 the'Cuftom of binding our Heads, when Infants. 



The Teeth of our Vygfnie refembled a Mans,vs\oxt than do thofe of 

 Aps and Monkeys ^ as I fhall fnew in the OJieology. 



(/) Arid. And whereas other ^adrupeds have not Hair on both Eye-lids, 

 theje have ; But 'tis very fine, efpecially that on the lower Eye-lid, and very 

 fmall. But other ^(adrupeds have none there. 



In our Vygmie the Cilia or Hair of both Eye-lids appeared very fair 

 and plain, but not fo large as in Men. The Supercilia or Hair of the 

 Eye-brows, feem'd to be rubb'd off 5 which might be occafioned by the 

 jutting out of the Cranium m that place, more than in Men : Which is 

 a Provident Provifion of Nature, for the better fafeguard of the Eyes, 

 and their defence from the Injuries they might otherwife receive in the 

 Woods. But the Philofopher's Affertion, that no ^tadruped hath Hair 

 on the under Eye-lid befides Man but the J/^e-kind, I cannot juftifie i, or 

 I do not take his meaning aright : The' he has much the fame Opinion 

 a little before. (18) Where he tells us, KaJ <^Xvpx^l^^c, /aav avQpoDiroi

 Pubk feemed fomewhat different from what grew on the reft of the 

 Body 5 being not fo ftrait, but fomewhat curled ; and greyifti, not black. 

 But I muft here Remark, that Pliny ufes the words Palpebrs and Gena , 

 in his Tranflating this Text of Arijiotle, different from what commonly 

 they fignifie now. For by Palpebrs he means^ what Arijiotle and Hippo- 

 crates call ^Aspaei.?^?, i. e. the Hair on the Rim of the Eye-lids, a pal- 

 fitatione ; and Fefius calls Cilia, quia oculos celent d" tueantur : And by 

 Gena, he underftands the Eye-lid ^ as appears from that PafTage of Pliny 

 I have juft now quoted, , Palpehrk quas fols ^ladrupedum in inferior e 

 habentGena. And fo Scaliger ufes thefe words in this Tranflation of 

 Arijiotle : And he makes Cilium to fignifie, Summmn Genae ambitum^ and 

 not the Hair there.
