the whole length of the Guts leaving only the Common 
Membrane, as 'tis continued from that of the Mefente-

mained. 
Now here wx obferved that remarkable Difference, 
from what is in many other Animals ; that we can't but 
make Two Mefenterks ; ofie peculiar to the fmall Guts, 
the other belonging to ih^ great ones, or Intefttna Crap 
fa^ as they are called^ for tW continued to one another, 
yet the difference in their Figure or Bulk^ is fo much^ 
that fully juftifies the Diftindtion. And for Diftindion 
"^Tab, 2. fake, I fhall call the former Mejenterium * minorum^ and 
F/^ I. «. tliQl^xiQr Mefefiterhm i Majorum, fc. Intedmorum : for 
minora and majora I think more expreflive, than tenuia 
and crajfa ; atleaft it appeared Co in our prefent Subjed:.

^ r. 'tis joined to the Cacum *J towards the Middle of the 
Spine, Hence I found a Projedion of ihe firft Me/en*

of Stairs; So that upon Inflation, thefe Inteftines here^ 
made federal Convolutions, or Windings, tho' not exactly 
Spiral, but as reprefented in our Figure ^ and the better 
to fliew the Currency of their Canalis here, and how 
thofe Gyrations follow each other - I have fignified it by 
the Order of the Letters of the Alphahet ; to that {g) is 
fdcceeded by (h) and (h) by (J) and fo on : Not that I 
could reprefent the whole in this Figure; for (bme of 
theft G^T/, at lead great parts of them, lay dipt and hid*

as I choofe rather ro call it, than Mefocolon (for it did be*^
