had fcarce any. But I find it as a Ipecial caution given 
by all, that as foon as they are taken, to cut out the gland 
on the back, leaft it taints the flefh. Thus "jofeph a Cojia^

bum detur, umbilici tumor a in tergo prominente pnefefloy ab'' 
jeFcoque opus eji, Niji hoc fiat, uno die Caro putrefcet,

mediately, without any delay : ^luare fiquod Animal e»

to have that ofFenlive fmell ^ or to imprefs it on the flefh. 
This I am confident, that in flaying off the ^y^^V^, unlefs 
they fliudioufly endeavour it ; they cannot avoyd taking 
away the Gland too, it lying fo between the skin, and 
Tanniculus mujculofus s which is always taken of with the 
skin, but of this more anon. 
We come now to the Anatomy ; where our obfervati- 
ons fhall be chiefly of fuch parts, as are of a different make 
from the fame in common Hogs-, or the mofl: common 
Animals. Having therefore divided the Mufcles of t!he 
belly y what firft of all we took notice of, was the remark- 
able ft:rud:ures of the Stomacksy for it had three. Into the 
middlemofl:, was inferred the Oefophagus or Gullet \ which 
we therefore ftiall call the firft ventricle or Stomack. From 
this, on one fide was a large paffage into the fecond y 
which pouching out had its two ends winding like a horn 
and on the other fide of the firfl: or middle ftomack, was 
a free open paflage into the third, which emptyed it felf 
into the duodenum.
