I (hall not engage in this Argument here, becaufe it would be too 

 great a digreffion j hereafter, it may be, I may take an occafion to do it 5 

 for this is not the only Inftancein our Subjeft, that will juftifie fuch an 

 Inference : tho' I tliink it fo ftrong an one,as the Atheijis can never anfwer. 



We (hall take notice next of the Vvnla^ a Part of fome ufe too in

 Man. it had thofe two Mufcles which are in a Manfh^ Mufculm Sph£-

 Tendon of which laft, paffed over the Pterigoidd Procefs, which was to 

 it like a Trochlea or Pul/y, and was afterwards inferted as in a Alan. 



The Parijians tell us that the Uvula, which is in no other Brutes, rpas

At the Root of the Tongue of each fide were placed the TonfiUce in our 

 Vygmie, as they are in a Man. They were protuberant and hard, and 

 not foforaminulous, as ufually in Man ; very probably being vitiated 

 by the Ulcer in the Cheek. For Drelincourt tells us in the Ape, Amygdala 

 cav<e , pertufte & Scrobiculos habenfes. 



The Parotides under each Ear in our Pygmie were large , and of the

The Maxillary Gland of the left fide (where the Ulcer in our Pygmie 

 was) had two of it's Lobes, globous and protuberant, above the Surface 

 of the other Part, being infefted and tumefied by the Ulcerous Matter. 

 Thefe Glands were about an Inch long, and about half an Inch broad 5
