Stick hi one hand, being thus ered, and holding a Cup in 
the other, it would drink out of it, and not lap, its Food 
was chkfly Fruits. But of this more it may be another 
time. 
Amongft thofe Animals v\hofe fore feet are likeF^Wx 
and have no Thtmb^ I reckon Porcupine kind, a*; the 
CuavdH of Brdfil^ 2i fort of Porcupifie defcribed by Margrave 
mA Jo. Nieuhojf (Voyages pag. 18.) which on the hore-fiet 
hath but 4 Fingers on the A/Wer 5. Therefore, as Mar- 
^^'-ave obrcTves.tor want of a Thamb^it is but flow in chmb- 
mg Tfles 5 but the better to help himfelf, it twilts its 
r^2i/ about a Bough, to fave its felf from falling. And 
much alike, if not the fame, is the Tla^uatzin Spirtofiifm 
of H^rnaudcz* So the Common Porctiph,e^ before has 4 
Fingers, behind 5. So xhc7ama>7riHa,oi Brajil ot Ant- 
Bear., before has but 4 fingers, uhcrjt rhe want of ler?gth 
in the Fingers^ is fupplyed by ihati:f ihr AW/,an(i behind

in doing this makes ufe of his TaiL as fome others here

And, unlefsit can be otherwife better r;inged, we n ay 
likewiie fhufHe in here the Ai, Jgnavus^ or Sloth^ becaufe 
It climbs^ and lives on Trees, and has a Head not unlike 
an Ape's ^ and, as M^r^r^z^e afTures us, two Te^f / on the 
Breaji^ but on each Foot had but three Claws^ with very 
long Nails^ like the Tamandua^ and its Feet being very 
narrow and thus defective in Toes, 'tis very flow in 
Motion- 
Now to conclude this Scheme , Amongft the Animals 
whofe hinder Feet only are like Hands^ is to be reckoned 
the Carigueya or Opojjum 5 which having defcribed at lar^e 
in the Anatomy of the Female OpoJJum^ I fhall not infift 
farther on it here : and if there be any other Animals 
that have their hinder^ t^i formed likeflWx, eidier with
