complains in his Book De Radice Chyn£^ and his Examen Obfervationum 

 Falloppij. But Gabriel Falloppim was always kinder to him, and mentions 

 him with the greatefi: Honour, and calls him Divine 3 tho' in feveral 

 things he diflents from him, which occafioned VefaUus his putting out 

 his ObfervatJonHm Fal/oppij Examen. 



Realdm Colur^bus was fucceeded at Rome by Bartholomauf Euflachius 5 

 a Man very knowing and curious in Anatomy^ but extreamly devoted to 

 Galen, as one may fee by this Paflage 5 TJt tmo verbo tne expediam, talem 

 enm ejfe (fc. Galenum) ajjeverem, qualem opinor neminem in pojieruffz futn- 

 riim, fnijje nunquam plane confirmo. ^tare ditbik in rebus diffentire ab eo 

 honefis non pojjkmus, fed mcigk expedire, decereque putandnm ei?, illo Dtice 

 errare, qiiam his illifve Magifirfs hodie eritdiri, ne dicam cum ik vera fen- 

 tire (82). Too great a Partiality for fo ingenious a Man. And it may 

 be, this was one Reafon why Vefalim fo much endeavoured to lefTen 

 Galen's Authority ; becaufe the Humour of the Age was fuch, that no- 

 thing then was to be received, but what was to be met with in him. 

 But certainly they are in the wrong, who , becaufe Galen is miftaken in 

 fome things, do now wholly rejefthim, and lay him afide as good for 

 nothing. The wifeft and raoft experienced in the Art may read his 

 Works," and in reading him, ifjuftand not prejudiced, will acknow- 

 ledge, a Satisfaction and an Advantage they have received from him. 



The Defign of Bartholom^us EuUachim in writing that Difcourfe of his, 

 Ojjium Examen, is to juftifie Galen, that he did not only difleft Apes, but 

 Ehtmane Bodies likewife f, and that his Defcriptions are conformable to the 

 Parts in Man, and not to Apes and Monkeys. He therefore draws a 

 Comparifon between the Sceleton of an Ape and a Man 3 and fhews 

 wherein they differ 3 and how far Galen's Defcriptions of thofe Parts are 

 different from thofe in an Ape. Folcher/0 Coiter has likewife made the 

 fame Comparative Survey, in his Analogia Ojjium Humanoriim, Simi<e ^ 

 vers & caudatxe, qu£ Cynocephali Jimilis eU, atque Vtilpk. In moft things 

 I find Coiter to follow Etiftachius, but Ettflachius T think is to be preferred, 

 becaufe in his Annotationes de Ojjibm , he quotes the Texts of Galen at 

 large. Johannes RioUnus the Son hath wrote upon the fame Argument 

 likewife 5 vi%. Simile Ojieologia Jive Ojjium Simile d^ Hominis Comparatio 5 

 and he being later than either of the former, and having madeufe of all 

 before him, he may be thought to be the moft exadt. 



In giving therefore an Account of the Ofleology of our Pygmie, and 

 the better to compare it's Sceleton with that of a Man, and an Ape, and a 

 Monkey, I thought I could not do better, than to infert this Difcourfe of 

 Riolanus 5 and hj Commenting upon it, to (hew wherein our Pygmie a-
