The Anatomy of a T TG M I E. ^5 



(n) Tho' the Face of our Pygmk was rounder than an 4pe's,as that is 

 than a Monkey., and a Monkeys more than the Cynocepkalm^ yet 'twas not 

 altogether fo much as a Mrf« s 5 the upper Jaw being proportionably 

 longer and fomewhat more protuberant. The Bones of the Nofi too in 

 our Pygr/tk more refembled the Ape-ki»d. than the Humane, being flat 

 and Jimous -J hencs fima, and not protuberant and rifing as in Man. 



fflj The Suture of the Palate in our Pygme was jufl: the fame as in a 

 Man. In a Monkey I obferved thzt peculiar Suture Riolun mentions, but 

 did not find it in the Pygme : Only in the Palate of xhtPygmk I obfer- 

 ved a Suture, not from the Z)e«x Camnus, as was in the Monkey, but from 

 the Second of the Dentes Indfores. 



(p) In our Pygmk the under Jaw was perfeftly clofe-d at the Mentum,- 

 as 'twas in the Monkey^ and 'tis fo in a Man. Galen (85) tells us,

 the Jljortefi Chin, or under Javp, in proportion to his Body 3 then next to a. 

 Man, an Ape, then aLyn:ii, f/je« Satyrs, and after thefe the Cynocephali. 

 And I may add, of all Apes, our Pygmie hath the (horteft. The Articu- 

 lation of the under Jaw in our Pygmie w3lS Condyloides, as 'tis in Man ^ 

 :and not Gynglymoides, a5 Volcher^s Coiter and Bart hoi. Eujiachim obferve. 



(q) Our P)/^«??e had in each Jaw before, ^omx Dentes Indfores-^ then 

 following them, of each fide a Dens Canhms 3 then after them of each 

 fide, Four Denter Molares, in all Fourteen Teeth in each Jaw, in both 

 Twenty eight. But our Subjeft being young, I obferved that all the 

 Teeth were not perfectly grown out of the Jaw-bone, and could perceive 

 -fome of the Molaru, that fiill lay hid there, or were not much exerted. 

 In a Monkey in each Jaw there were two Dentes Incifores before^ then 

 four Dentes Canini, two of each fide ^ then eight Dentes Molares, fout 

 of each fide. The Number of the Teeth in each Jaw, and in the whole 

 the fame as in the Pygmie : only the Monkey had four Dentes Canini m 

 -each Jaw, the Pygmie had but two, as in a Man : Or at leaft in the 

 Monkey, the two firft of theC"^«/«z feeraed to be Amphibious, between 

 ■an Incifor and Caninm , being not fo broad as the two firft Incifores, nor 

 fo much exerted or extended as the two other Canin't were. In the 

 number of the Teeth our Pygmie imitated more the Ape-kfnd than the 

 Humane : But in the Strudure of them , more the Humane than the 

 Ape-kind ;, for the Menfa or Superfcies Oi ths Molares, was not {o fer ra- 

 ted as the Monkey's, but liker Humane Teeth.
