Shoulder with the Scapula in Mltiadrupeds lies nearer the Ribs 5 in Man 

 'tis extended farther from them. Now our Pygmze fo exaftiy imitating 

 Humane-kind in all thefe Circumftances, makes me think that Nature 

 did not defign it a ^adruped, but a Biped. For it had a full round 

 Cheli or Thorax, and it's Scapida placed backwards, not fo forwards on 

 the Ribs, and the Articulation of the Shoulder with the Scapula, flood 

 off from the /?//^j- as it do's in Man. And from this -very Confideratioii

 the Scaprda in the Ape, is the fame as in a Man 5 and tells us that an 

 Ape is exadtly neither a ^tadruped , nor a Biped , but amphibious be- 

 tween both. For in the fame Chapter, fpeaking of the Ape, he faith,

We have feen upon what accounts our Pjgmie may be thought 

 not to be a ^ladruped , or that it's natural Grejflon is not on all four, 

 and how ill it is provided to go that way. We will now enquire. 

 Whether there is not more reafon to think that Nature defigned it
