I aiuft co-.fefs, the Fabrick of this Part^ Teemed very 
far prifing to me and (uch as ! have not met with a Pa 
ralleL or the h!<e, in any Animal befides ; at lead of the 
Quadrupede Kind. 'Tis true, m holders and Crahs^ in 
the Female there are two Vteri^ as in the A/j/* there 
are tvv o but more diftmct and fep^rated trom one 
another. So two Ptnes^ and each f^.^ked to3, I have 
obferved in the Rattle Snake {uh) : but how the A4ale 
PoJJltm is provided, I cannot u\\ : But this I think is the 
only hjiance of a Land Quadrupede, rhat has tw o Vteri ; 
and each of thefe too, feemingly dcuhle, by that Refle- 
xion they make, and by an imperfed Diaphragm^ which 
divides the Cavity oi t^xihVterm a c onfiderabie way, as 
we {hall fhew. 
Thefe Vteri are not faftened to the AU^ as are the 
Ovaria, Tub^ ^v^d Corma ; but w here they are conjoin'd 
near the Insertion of the Cornua, they do adhere very 
firmly to the Neck * of the Bladder, not eafily to be fe- */^^i-5-^ 
parated thence,- and by Membranes to the ReSlum ; 
where more feparable. So that the Neck of the BlaJ^ 
der lies over that Diaphragm or Membrane which parted 
them (as I faid) into two diftind Vteri, Here the Bo- 
dy of the Uteri feemed to be about the Bignefs of the 
End of my Finger or in Gompafs (thus inflated) it 
meafured about an inch and three quarters : Hence they
