ceflfary for the ufes of the Bowels. I took then this 
woolly fubftance, and having cleared it from the Excre- 
ment, as much as I could, 1 found a great number 
of very chin blood Veflels branched out, and lying fo 
thick together, that the fpace of half the Diameter of 
a hair was not void between the branches. Befides the 
blood -vefTels, there were alfo other veffels that had no 
diftinguifliable colour, which I fufpeded to be Limpha- 
ticks or Laiteals : I could not difcern any Membrane 
that encompalTed them, but all about them lay a gluti- 
nous clear nime, befet with fmall Globules, which flime 
and Globules I took to be the Excrements lying upon the 
Guts, but when I went to fcrape gently this ilime away, 
I found that I not only wounded the bloodveffels, but 
tore away many blood- veffels, and other veflels toge- 
ther. 
Thefe blood-velTels do not fpread their Branches on 
all fides, like the blood- veflfels in other parts of the body, 
but as they lye in a Bow, fend all their Branches inward, 
and none outwards : They alio lye fo clofe by one ano- 
ther, that I imagine ten thoufand of them may be in 
the fpace of an inch fquare ; I have defer ibed the cir- 
cumference of one of thefe VeiTels in B^, i.J.B, G, D. 
F, G' which circumference is no greater then to be cover- 
ed withafand: The thicknefs or Diameter is about the 
%Si^h, part of a hair of my head, from the infide many 
fmall veffels iffuing out doe as it were joyn together, but 
of thefe only 4 are fpecified as in Fig. B, L. E. and 
C» L» F» 
Fig, 4.. H,LI\j is a fmall veffel, and though I have 
placedit at fome diflrance from the former, neverthelefs 
it was partly covered by it, as is ufual with the refbof them 
to cover one another : The Bows alfo lye all the fame 
way, bending towards the paffage of the Excrement out 
of the Guts. 
I could not track //. G. and H. K. any further, by 
reafon
