ON THE ORKNEY ANIMAL* 



44* 



The said Mr George Sherar being again 

 interrogated, declares, That he examined the sup- 

 posed stomach, after it had been opened by Mr 

 Folsitter, and that he laid it open to the farther 

 end : That there was something like a gut at the 

 end which he opened, about two inches long, with 

 a small aperture : That the stomach had the same 

 appearance from end to end, and contained no- 

 thing but a substance like blood and water : That 

 the large bone, of which a drawing was taken, was 

 considered as the collar-bone ; and that it was si- 

 tuated with the broad and thick parts downwards, 

 and the open part towards the vertebrae of the 

 back : That he observed no appearance of fins 

 about the neck or breast, or other parts of the bo- 

 dy, except the six paws already described. And 

 all this he solemnly declares to be truth, &c. 



(Signed) Geo. Sherar,
