or analogous to it, which give them, their peculiar /^- 
tor^^ or fmells. Thus I have obferved in l{eptiles, as the 
^R^ttlejnahe, in Vipers, in our common Snake^ &c. two 
long bags in the Tayle j which empty t\\^\t fcetid liquor^ 
near the verge of the l{eHum, But in all Animals, 1 find 
not thefe bags or glands feated here j but in fome, in dif- 
ferent parts of the body. In Fowl^ and Birds in the rumps 
{ as I have formerly mentioned j you will meet with two 
glands s which have their pipes or fecretory duUus arifing 
on the top of it, above the furface of the Skin ; which 
difcharges a tetid liquor. I find thefe Glands the largeft 
in Geefe^ and the D^r^kind, which ufe the water; and a- 
ny one at the table, by tafting may perceive in a Buch^ 
howftrong fcented tYi^y be. IwTurky^s, tis lefs glandu- 
lousj but they have a larger Cyflis within. In the Of- 
tridge indeed, Idid not obferve it on the I^mp ; but 
fomething higher on the bacJ^s where it made two bun- 
chings out ; and under the Skin I found a Cyfiis fill'd with 
a concreted yellowiih juice, this fomething approached 
near the place, where was feated the G/^«^ in our Mexico 
Hog, which I call the Scent-gland, and it yielding fo 
grateful a perfume ( for fo it was efteemed by my felf, and 
feveral others, whofmelt it /from it, I have named it, 
th^ Mexico Musk^Hog. 
This diiierence is remarkable 5 whereas our MusJ^Hog 
has it's Scent Gland feated on the bacJ{j and it has been by 
moft hitherto miitaken for Navel : So the Ga^ellaoT 
MusI^ Deer has his Mush^bag on tho, belly near the Vmbili' 
f ^i". This being largely defcribed by Lucas Schroekiut 
la his Hijioria Mofchi not long fince publifhed, I fhall re- 
fer to him, for a further account ot it. 
But it may be expedted perhaps I fliould give fomq far-? 
ther reafons for xkiQ. name I have beftowed on our* Hogx and 
the rather too, fince? no Author h^s call'd it a perfume, 
but branded it as the greateft Stin^; A^s is already ob-
