are oviparous have no uterus ; but, on the contrary, all the 

 viviparous fifties have this part. The whales, and all the 

 cetaceous kinds, as alfo many of the cartilaginous ones, 

 have the uterus very fair. It is probable that the eel kind 

 alfo have it ; but this is lefs certain, the generation of thofe 

 fifties being yet fomewhat obfcure. The uterus in the 

 cetaceous fifties is always divided into two proceffes or horns; 

 but in the cartilaginous ones it is divided into two glandulous 

 bodies, which are pervious, and, according to the opinion of 

 Needham, difcharge a whitifti liquor into the womb, and 

 are of great ufe in gravidation. 



Uteri, cornua, are alfo called horns of the womb.

UTICA, [Bofijhatter,) \n Ancient Geography, a maritime 

 town of Africa, between Carthage and the promontory of 

 Apollo. It was a colony of Tyrians, and named by the 

 Greeks Ituxk, Itica. This town, by its magnitude and 

 dignity, was inferior only to Carthage ; and after the deftruc- 

 tion of this city, it became the capital of the province. 

 According to Strabo, it was fituated upon the fame gulf 

 with Carthage. Auguftus granted the title of Roman 

 citizens to its inhabitants. It is often mentioned in the 

 hiftory of the civil war of Cxfar ; and it became ftill more 

 famous by the death of Cato. On its fcite are found old 

 walls, a very large aqueduft, cifterns, and other veftiges of 

 edifices, which announce a large and magnificent city. To 

 the S.W. of thefe ruins may be feen fpacious fields, which 

 the Romans rendered famous by their military exercifes. 

 Booftiatter, by the accumulation of mud brought down by 

 the river Bagrada, is now about 7 miles from the fea.

 though Utica is fmall in area, it contains a population of 

 1700 perfons, and has 300 houfes and ftores, a Piefbyterian 

 and an Epifcopal church, a grammar-fchool, &c. Befides 

 thefe buildings it has many others, with mills, faftories, 

 ftiops of mechanics, printing-offices, and large book-ftores.
