and in all probability had lain in her fome time : Fdt it 
had pierced thro the Membrane on the infide, and made a 
paflage into the thick part, where it had form'd itfelf a 
Bed. It is obfervable, that the head of the Pin had paft 
thro the firft (hriveird Membrane, but ftopt at the fecond, 
which feem*d more thick and Nervous^ fo that the Head 
remain'd inclofed between the two Membranes, the Body 
of it having made its way into the fleftiy Mufcular part. 
At the point there was formed a Cal/uf^ of the bignefs of a 
fmall Pea, which feem'd a defence, that Nature had made 
to oppofe it, as it was working itfelf farther. 
It is not in the leaft ftrange that a Pin ftioald lye in the 
fleftiy parts, fince we fee a Mufquet-Ball will lye there a 
coniiderable time, without much injuring the part 3 but 
how it (hould pafs thro the Membranes of the Stomach, 
without obftrufting its funftions, and the Pullet thrive 
well after it, I leave you to determine.
