6/\. Orang^Ontang five Homo Syheflris : Or^, 



{d) In the Cramum of the Monkey there was no Cnjla Galli 5 and 

 where the Os Cr'tbnforme fhould have been, there was a hollow Paflage 

 which led towards the beginning of the Noftrils, at the end of which 

 there might be a fmall Os Cribriforme perforated with four or five holes. 

 But this Partappeared very different from the Structure of a Humane Skull, 

 as likewlfe from our Fygnne 5 which was occafioned chiefly by the great 

 bunching in of the Bones of the Orbit of the Eye, tho' our Pygmie too 

 had thefe Bones more protruded in, than they are in a Humane Cranium. 



(e) This appeared more in the Cramum of a yionkey than in our 

 V^gmie 5 tho' here too 'twas fomewhat more than in a Man% Skull. 



(f) The Sella Equina in our Pygmk was exadly like a Man's. In a 

 Monkey I obferved it more rifing and higher. In the middle of the Sella. 

 Turcica feu Equina of our Pygmie, I obferved a Foramen 5 and the fame I 

 found in a Humane Cranium I have by me. 



(g) In our Pygmie I did not obferve thofe two Cavities under the 

 Sella Turcica \^\)\ch ZXQ. to be met with in a ff»«z<z«e 6'/^«//. But the Bone 

 here was very fpungy and cavernous, and might anfwer the fame end, 

 tho' not formed perfeftly alike. 



(h) Thefe Cavities in our Pygmk, were nothing fo large as they are 

 in a Monkey, but conformable to the Strufture of this Part in an Hu- 

 mane SktiU. And in our Pygmie too, I obferved the Pterigoidal Procejfes 

 as they are in Man, but I did not find them in the Monkey. 



(i) The Offa Bragmatk and Temporum in our Pygmie were very plain- 

 ly d\(Ymgm(hQd by ^nindented Suture. In the Cranium of tht Monkey 

 thefe Bones were divided by a lineal Suture call'd Harmonia. 



(kj The Maftoid And Styloform^ Procefs in our Pygmie were very little, 

 yet more than in the Monkey j but herein our Pygmie rather imitates the 



Ape-kjnd. 



CO Becaufe I would not fpoil the Sceleton, I did not examin the Or- 

 gan of the Inward Ear : But am wholly inclined to Riolan, who tells us 

 he always found thofe Three little Bones, the Malleolus, Incus, and 

 Stapes there u, and no doubt but they are to be met with in our Pygmie. 

 Tho' Cajjerim therefore thinks Galen does not mention them, and never " 

 obferved them, becaufe they are not to be found in Apes : But Riolan 

 tells us the contrary. 



(m) The Os Zygomaticum in our Pygmie was not half fo big or large 

 as in the Cranium of the Monkey 5 herein therefore our Pygmie more re- 

 fembles a Mm.
