this Pouch (as I have remark'd) was fomewhat Hairy 
and at (everal Places I could obferve them matted or 
cling'd together by a Tellowijh Suhjlame, which did ouze 
out of tlie Cutaneous Glands there 5 as under the Arm- 
pits in a Man, it isoblerved. This Liq^uor thus emptied 
into the Pouch from the Glan^uloiu Coat, I found was 
. ftrong Scented, and had more of the Peculiar Fator of 
this Animal, than any part befides; being no ways 
grateful, but unplealant to the Smell, as has been obfer- 
ved of this Creature, when alive F^etet Animal injtar 
Vulpis vel 'MartiSi faiui Margrave (^a). Fulpeculis Hi' 
fpanienfihus funt fimiles fed minores, & longe graveolenti-

the Pouch had been kept for (bme Days, and was grown 
dry^ I found fo great an Alteration here in the Smell, 
that what before was (b difagreeable, now was become a 
perfed Perfume^ and fmek altogether like Musk; which 
made me call to mind what formerly I had re- 
marked (^^3 of thefe 5^:(f«^£^?gJ in other Animals; that 
in a Weafel^ which Stinks like a Pole-caty by fpreading 
this Faeted Liquor contained in the Scent Bags (as I call 
them) on a Paper, and fo letting it dry, it became a 
grateful Perfume, ^c. wherefore afterwards, in my De- 
fcription and Anatomy oithtTajacu(^cc^ (a Mexican Wild- 
Hog) when I came to difleft it, fome Days after it had 
been dead ; and thtFirus or horred Fcetoroi the Liquor 
contained in the Scent-Bag (which was a large Gland on 
the Back) had fpent its felf, and it became an agreeable 
Perfume : Upon this Confideration, I took the Liberty 
(it may be, a too great an one) to call it Mofchiferiu ;
