1x8 Mr. Dent to Mr. Ray. 



to the Coxendix. In each above the Rima^ or rather un- 

 der the Fins, (examining the Mufcles, rather than ex- 

 pedlring to find any thing) I run ray Knife upon a 

 Veffel, which afforded a great Quantity of Liquor, 

 (for that Part) part white, part bloody j which be- 

 ing wip'd off 5 I found feminal Veffels : Being more 

 careful on the other Side, I found a large Veffel full 

 of Liquor as on the former mentioned Side. What to 

 call this Bladder^ or Vejjel^ # I do not yet determine: 

 Scrotum I muft not, for that the Te 'flicks (very pretty 

 to a curious Eye) are within the Abdomen. Whether 

 in or nigh this Veffel, is one of the GlanduJa Proftatte $ 

 and whether there are any Veficul<e Seminar'ue within 

 thefe, or any other befides thefe, I would farther ex- 

 amine. I believe, but dare not affert, that the Penis 

 on each Side is annexed to thefe Veffels : Some Ra- 

 mifications of the Epididymis feem here, but not fo 

 plain as in the Abdomen. While I was fearching for 

 any thing that might be annexed to the Foramina^ 

 which by Gefner are called Foramina Vulva ^ (and ve- 

 ry cunningly by Stem paft'd over in Silence) though 

 they are in all Males as well as Females, I cut with 

 the Os pubis fo much as hinder'd the Difcovery whe- 

 ther both Penis's might meet or not. I am fatisfy'd 

 that thok Foramina ferve only to let in Water into 

 the Abdomen^ as thofe behind the Eyes let it into the 

 Mouth fiiut, the 10 Trap-Doors, or Floodgates, of 

 the Branchiae being (hut at Pleafure 3 and this re- 

 ceiving in fo much Water, may be (if it be lawful to 

 conjecture) by the Weight of the Water to make her 

 more fwift in purftrihg Prey (if at all) downward.
