But before I leave thefe Parts, there are fome others I muft here take 

 notice of, in this Comparative Survey 3 which tho' they are not to be 

 met with, either in our Pygmie or in Man , yet are very remark.able,both 

 in the M<?«% and ylpe-^'K^, \\z. t\\o{^ Pouches the Monkeys and Apes 

 have in their Chaps^ which ferve them as Repojitories for to hoard up, up- 

 on^occafion, food in f, when they are not difpofed for the prefent to de* 

 vour it 5 but when there Stomachs ferve them,they then take it out thence 

 and fo eat it. That the Ape- kind has thefe Pouches^ Drelincourt does 

 inform us x, where he tells us, Mttfctdus latijjimus Mentum univerfum (^ 

 huccas obtegit, qua parte Jimi£faccHm form ant ^ intra quern Efculenta recon- 

 dunt. Pliny is very exprefs. That both^ Satyrs and Sphinges (which I 

 make to be of the M(?«|e;/'^/«^J have them likewife, (78) Condit m- 

 Thefauros Maxillarum Ctbum Sphingiorum & Satyrorum Genus. Mox inde- 

 fenjim ad mandendum manibus expromit -^ d^ quod formick in annum folen-

 Pouch in the Mouth of the Monkeys they differed , is this 5 That it ppos 

 compofed of Membranes and Glands^ and of a great many Mufculoui and. 

 Carnous Fibres. It's Jituatien vcas on the outjide of each Jaw, reaching ob- 

 liquely fiom the middle of the Jaw to the under part of it's Angle, P^Jfif^i ^^^' 

 der a part of the Mufcle called LongxiUmus. It was an Inch and an half 

 long, and almoU as broad towards it' s bottom. It opened, into the Mouth be- 

 tween the Jaw and the bottom of the Gum. 'Tk into thk Pouch that Apes 

 ufe to put what they would keep h and it k probable that the Mufculous Fibres 

 which it has, do ferve to Jldut and open it, to receive and put out what thefe 

 Animals do there lay up in referve. Now our Pygmie having none of thefe 

 Pouches in it's Chaps, nor nothing like them ; 'tis a notable difference 

 both from the M<i«% and Ape-kjnd, and an Agreement with the Hu^ 

 mane. 



We thould now come to difcourfe of xh^ five Senfes : But there is lit-^ 

 tie I have at prefent to remark of them. For in the Organs of thofe of 

 TaHus, and Guftus, there was no difference I could obferve between our 

 Pygmie and ^Man. As to thofe of Hearing and Smelling, I (hall make- 

 my Obfervations upon them, in the Ojieology. Here therefore I (hall on- 

 ly remark fome things of the Eyes, the Organs oi Seeing 5 and fo prO'- 

 ceed to the Brain. 



The Bony Orbit of the Eye in our Pygmie was large , conical, audi 

 deep. Here we obferved the Glandula Lachrymalk , and Innominata. 

 The Bttlb of the Eye in proportion to the Bulk of the Body, was rather 

 larger than in ^Man. The Irk was of a light hazel Colour: The Pm
