Bones are fo well united together, that they appeared as 
one entire Body yet in the FatiUy without doubt, they 
are feparable, and are Two. And this I rather think, 
. becaufe in the upper part of the Cranium I could not find 
any Sutures at all. So likewife anfwerable to the Lam^ 
doidal Suture^ may be thofe 'other i^/^/g^j in the Ex- 
tream of the Occiput, which I (hall call, frotuherantte 
Offece Laterales * ; which arifing on eath fide from the* ^ 
Troajfus Styloides^ afcends obliquely up the hinder Part 
of the Occiput ; and juft in the Middle at the Top, is 
joined with the Longitudinal Ridge, I have defcribed. 
Thefe Ridges^ although as deep as the //-y?, ytt were 
not {landing fo upright, but prejecled rather like a Pent- 
houfe^ over this hinder part of the Cranium; by both 
which Ridges, the Cranium is fo well guarded and defen- 
ded, that 'tis almoft impoffible, the Skull fliould be any 
ways cracked or broken. Something like thefe Ridges, 
but nothing fo large, I have obferved in the Skull ot a 
Weafel. 
And not only the Brain^ but the Eyes likewife, are 
very \^'ell guarded and defended, by the Os Zygcmati- 
cum f ; which is very broad and flrong ; in the broad- \ e. f, 
• eft Place being above Three Quarters of an Inch, and 
in the narroweft Half an Inch, being very thick on its 
under Edge ; but at its upper, growing thin and (harp. 
But for the greater Strengthening this Bone (which is 
formed by a Vrocefs from the Os Temporum ||, and ano- y 
ther from the Maxilla fuperior where they meet, they :f ^ 
lap over one another, and fo become the ftronger. This 
Os Zygomaticum was Two Inches and an Half long, 
and ftanding off from the Cranium an Inch in Diflance. 
In the Orbit of the Eye at the inward Canthus, there 
was a large Foramen f, which led into the Cavity of the | ^ 
l^ofe^ and by a Du£l placed here, the Tears or Moifture 
from the Eyes is conveyed into the Ifolirils. In the up.
