larger Mefentery^ ufually do hang down lower \ here^

made abundance of Convolutions, and windings ; and 
altho' the Mefentery was but very fhprt from the Spine, 
and its Circumference feemingly but ver / little : yet in 
this compafs it conteined 27 foot of thefe Inteftines; 
for fo much they meafured from the Pylorus to the Colon. 
The Colon was not fattened to the Periphery or rim of 
I the Mefentery, as ordinarily ; but arifing from the Cen- # 
ter, or Middle, made a Spiral line, it's end hanging loofe; 
and it's turnings clofely united one to another by mem- 
branes. This Colon was very large, in refpedl of the o- 
ther Guts y and as I meafufd it, was 9 foot long. It 
hadafliort Caecum, hm pretty wide, and filled with /i- 
ces. What Dr. Grew obferves, that tis peculiar to the 
Ctecum of a Hog, and that of a Horfe 5 to have the fame 
ftrudure with the Colon , is true here too. And it may be
