Some C^njiderations 
Concerning the Parenchymous farts of the Body, 
Thefe were communicated by the inquifitive M. Ekmnn^King^x. the 
Inftanceof the /'/^^/ij^fr, as follows 
The FannclojmoHs parts of the Body, are by AnAtomiJts generally fuppo- 
fed to be in very many places wholly voUof Vejfellj ; defigncd chiefly to fill 
up Cavities and J ncerftices between the Veffels, and to boulftcr up thc fame, 
and to convey them through the parts. 
But having many years endeavoured to excarnate fevcral parts of thc Body-^ 
viz* the Liver,Lungs, Spleen, Kidneys,&c« (not to name the Placenta Vte- 
ri^ which feems to be Parenckjmous too • ) and being very defirous to malce 
a Scheme of the Vcffels of any of thefe, what ever they were, I fixt upon ; 
I found, notwithftanding all ray care to preferve the Veffels, when / was 
freeing them, asheedfully as /could, from the fuppofed P arenchy ma ^ that

dieavors were deftruftive to my purpofe : and if, upon examination of thofc 
bits, much of which is Q&\kd PareptcltjmA^ I met in them more Veffels 
than 1 had prefeirved in the parts whence they came : And though the Poriior^
