At the length I perceived , that all thefe Bladders were 
parts fome way relating to the Womb. Wherefore having 
feperated the OJfa Fubu , I t©ok out the Womb, with the 
ludendum ^ and parts appendent all together. And then, 
amongft other particulars, obferved , That the right te- 
^/Wf orO^'4y^ wasbutfmall, white, and its Veficles m a 
manner dryed up. But the left tobefweird into a Vaft 
bulk : Theaforefaid Bladders , in one of which were con- 
tained fo many pounds of Liquor , being nothing elfe ori- 
ginally, but the Eggs belonging to this kfc Oz/^r/. Ima- 
gine you faw about 40 Bladders , fome of a little Pig , o-

ded with Liquor, andty'd, like a Reeve of Onions altoge- 
ther , and you have alfo feen this Ovary* 
The Tejlicle or Ovar^ it felf,all the Serum being exhaufl-

light) 25/. Out of all the faid Fdf/Fc/eJ or Bladders toge-

mor or Humors they contein, to be the Eggs out of which 
the Fastiis is bred. Which as they are ufed to enter into the 
Womb by the FaUepia» Tube : So in this cafe, it is mod 
likely that the Egg falling off the Ovary hto the faid Me , 
by fome preternatural contrafiionof its lower Orificcyms 
flopped from iffuing thence into the Womb. Yet being , it 
feems , near enough to receive the Vital Contaft , It there- 
upon began to be enlarged ; and fo, by reafon of irs own in- 
creafingBulk, was made gradually to flip back again to- 
wards the upper and larger Orifice of the faid Tube , and at 
laft , to drop thence into the Cavity of the Abdome^\ which 
now , inftead of the Womb , became its Neft.
