choes and confus'd reprelentations of Obje&s. In con- 
firmation of whick laft Reafon Sir John Hoskins did in* 
genioufly obferve, that Pillars in Churches very much 
prevented Ecchoes : And for the fame reafon theft might 
alfo hinder them in the Heads of this particular Stru- 
cture. 
3. In the Reads of Woodcocks, befides the paflages 
how defcrib'd, I found one on each fide the Bone, ma- 
king the Orbit of the Eye proceeding from the Ear, and 
reaching forward towards the fetting on of the Beak, 
near which they join'd in one, and turn'd under the 
Skull in a fmall paflage leading to the Cavity, by which 
the Ears communicate, and which is above defcrib'd, into 
which it enters. Thefe paflages are alfo in the Heads 
of Suites 1 and moreover, one over the Sinus Longitu* 
dinalis, and another over the Sinus Lateralis of the 
Brain. Note, that in the killing of Snit.es and fmaller 
Birds, if care be not taken that the Head be not bruis'd, 
thefe paflages cannot be difcover d for Blood extra va- 
fated in them. Note alfo, that the Laminulaz and bony 
Pillars are every where to be obferv'd where there is a 
paflage, excepting under the Skull, in the paflage from 
the letting of the Bill to the firft paflage defcrib'd. 
4. In, the Heads of Parrots and Paroquets, befides 
the firft defcrib'd paflage, I obferv'd between the two 
Tables every where Cells opening into others, and thole 
into others , To that there was not any part fcarcely of 
the Skull that was not taken up with them. And this 
did not only appear by pouring into one Ear freed from 
its Drum, the other alfo being removed, a Tincture of 
Cochinel, and then blpwing of it into ail caefe Cells, fo 
that no part was free from Tincture, but it appeared 
alfo to the naked Eye, notwithlianding that fometimes 
k was difficult to trace the Communications of them by 
reafon of nunaeroufnefs of the haminul& and Pillars 
^fbrqfaid.
