(F.) The Obferrations, that have been 
made in the beginning of this year in his 
Majefiies Library^ by fearching carefully 
the paiTage of the Du^m Thor miens in the 
Bo(ijr of a Woman, did fhew, that thefe 
difficulties were well grounded. For, it 
hath been found by divers Experiments; 
made about this matter, that there 
e-^W/atleaft fo much Chyle through the 
Trunck which is beneath the Heart , as 
there ^<?/r^W/ through that which is above 
it. 
Thefe Experiments have appeared con- 
fiderable , in regard that they confirm 
thofe, which were aifo made by the fame 
Roy ill Academy of the Sciences about five 
years fince, and which were inferted in 
the ']th "foHrnddes Scavms \66j But 
this laft Experiment 
hath been clearer and 
ampler then the firft, 
in that the Communi-^ 
cation, which the firft 
time appeared to be only wuh the left 
Emulgentyiixs.^ hath been found this fe- 
f cond time not only with this vein, but 
alfowith the two X^;^^^?")/ vein 5, whiph 
' are inferted in the Trunck of thtinf^ri§r 
verJ4 cava. 
As to the manner of proceeding, in the 
I prefence of the whole Company , for 
finding this Communication, it was this : 
After there had been fiiewed the Com- 
irierce' of the DHEit4s thoT^acicHs with the 
Right Ventricle of the Heart by aninje- 
Sion.. of Milk, which having been fyrin- 
ged int6 the beginning of this Channel, 
ilTucd in great quantity through this ven 
tricle 2, we tyed the Trunck of vcn^ 
e^iva above the Heart, fo that nothing 
imight-pafs that way ^ and the Trunck of 
the Emulgent and ch.at of the Ven^ Cava. ha»
