Milt- Vejfels, their Apparatus , &c. 



Cup or Barrel at the Clofe of their 

 Operation. 



In the Milt-Vcffels of this Gala* 

 mary, at the Bottom of the exterior 

 metaling Cafe, I plainly difcovered 

 a Valve, which openmg Outwards, 

 and thro' which I feveral Times 

 forced with an eafy Pre/Tore one 

 Moiety of the Apparatus, as far as 

 the Cup or Barrel, the inferior Part 

 of it at the fame Time emitting 

 the Semen thro' another Valve : 'Tis 

 thro* thefe Valves, that I imagine 

 the Semen is drawn into, and im- 

 bibed by the interior fpongy Sub- 

 ftance, from whence it is afterwards 

 expreffed by the Action of this little 

 microfcopical Machine : For in this 

 Calamary the Semen was not diffufed 

 £t Large, as in the Firft, but had 

 been all abforbed by the Multitude 

 of Milt-Veffels which were already 

 formed, and might amount in Num- 

 ber to feveral Hundreds, 



In a third Calamary , which was 

 the Largeft I had ever feen in the 

 Courfe of this Enquiry, upon Direc- 

 tion the Milt- VefTels appeared in the 



Microfcope
