the Ovnriu fi iA^ Generation, but as I €xped:ed I found 
none. For if it be layd down, that the greateft Eggs are 
theripeft, (sls it is in all Animals that are Oviparousjl 
ftiould not have had much trouble todifcoverthem, if 
they had continued fo great tound bodies as thofe in the 
Ovm'ium L MNO^ or fuch bodys as are reprelented in the 
Ovarium §l^S which is but half its bigncfs. 
The Uterus of a Bitch is from /i^ to L almoftof an 
equall thicknefs, but at L it becomes iramedateJy very 
fmall (contrary to t\iQUteruj of a Sheep) and how is it to 
be comprehended, that fo great round bodys as the Eggs, 
can pafs thro' fo narrow and wrinkled aPaflage, and not 
only one of them, but feverall together ; 2is in2iBttch^ 
which being but once lined, brings feverall Puppy's. 
That I might fatisfy my felt herein, I feparated the thin-

length and end of it is not to be feen) and bound a thread 
about the Tuba where it grows thicks partly that in the 
mouth that fucks down the fuppofed Eggs, ("where I have 
put a great Pin to iliew the Cavity) I might pour Quick-

would ftretch it felf; and partly that 1 might know 
whether the round Membrane which contains it, and 
reaches from L, to 0, as ^ iV had a hollownefs. 
Fig. 2. VWX. is the thin end of the Tuba. 
T. is the thread bound about the thick part of the LT"- 
terus. 
Xy is the opening where the Quick-filver is put in. 
The Tuba did not ftretch it felf any wider then is here 
reprefented, nor did it loofcithat krincled form which it 
had while it was. in the Qvarium as is reprefented at 
TheU^^mj- at T^ftretcht itfelf very much by reafon 
of the Qaick-filver, and from thence I am afcertained 
that it hath no other PafTage then at X. for if it had, the 
Quick- filver would have run out of it. 
Here hence will appearithe jmpoffibility that the great
