(a") In om Pjgmie there were feven Vertebra of the Neck, as there are 

 in a Man^ and an Ape too 5 but they were fhort, making in length about 

 two Inches , and fecmed more to imitate thofe in Apes^ being flatter be- 

 fore, and not fo round as in Man. And their Spines, iho they were lon- 

 ger, and more obtufe, and not fo acute as in Monkeys ; yet they were 

 not bifide.^ as they are in Matt. 



(Ji) In the firft Vertebra o^ the Neck in the Pjgmie there was no Spim^ 

 but an Afperity ; in a Man there nzfmall Spine. And before, 'twas like 

 to the Humane, having an Obtufe Eminence, and not running to a Mucro, 

 as in the Ape and Monkey. The Dens of the fecond Vertebra in the Pyg- 

 mie was partly Cartilaginous. 



(c) I did not obferve in the Pygmie the Tranfverfe Apophyfes to be lon- 

 ger, nor to be reflefted more forward, nor the fixth Vertebra to be lar- 

 ger than the others ^ nor the feventh Vertebra, to be any thing different 

 from the fame in Man 5 but in all thefe Circumftances, our Pygmie feem- 

 ed to imitate the Structure of the fame Parts in Man, more than does the 

 Ape-kjfid. 



(d) Thofe Foramina obferved in the Vertebrae of the Neck of Apes, 

 were wanting in our Fygmie, who herein imitated the Humane Sceleton. 



(e) I did not obferve any difference between the Vertebra of the Back^ 

 of our Pygmie and thofe of a Mans 5 nor what Riolan remarks of the 

 Apophyfes re^a of the two laft Vertebra. 



(f) In the lower Vertebra of the Back of the Pj/^«?ie,r obferved but two 

 Apophyfes inferna, as 'tis in a Humane Sceleton : in a Monkey thereare four 

 Apophyfes there. 



(^) Our Pygmie if Riolans account be true, is different both from the 

 Ape and Man too 5 for here 'twas the thirteenth J^r/^/r^, quis. infra, fu-
