narrower, and the Bafis was proportionably longer. But this I fuppofe 

 might happen in preparing the Sceleton by paring away the Cartilages (for 

 the Creature was young) which in a longer time would have hardened 

 into a Bone. So likewife that Procefi which receives the ClavkuU 

 call'd Acromion^ was Cartilaginous, as was likewife the End of the Pro- 

 cejjus Coracoides , and of the Cervix it felf, which la ft received the head 

 of the Shoulder Bone. So that as yet there was not a Sinus formed here 

 for the receiving it j but thatExtream was flatter than ufually and plain 5 

 nor was there that Sinus under the Spine^ as in an adult Humane Scapula. 



I obferved no difference in the Figure and Structure of the ClavicuU 

 in our Fygmie and in a Man. Nor did I obferve that Bone Riolan men- 

 tionSjbut a large Cartilage ^\\\zh. did conjoyn that Extreamof the Clavi- 

 cuU to the Acromittm, which in time might become long , this Cartilage . 

 was about a quarter of an Inch long.
