C ) 
per Jaw- Bone like wife, there was a large Foramen \\, 
which was for the Paflage of fome Veffels from the in- 
ward Ortit of the Eye, 
The Cranium which encompafs'd the Brainy in the 
largeft Place, was about an Inch overi and about an 
Inch and Half in Length but its Cavity jutted out 
fomewhat farther towards the l^ares, making as it were, 
a particular Cell here, and pretty capacious, for the re- 
ceiving the Proceffus Mami/Iares, and that fore Part of 
the Brain. And afterwards I obferved the Os Crihri» 
forme very remarkably perforated with Holes, like a Sive; 
and i/ideed, in forming this Organ of Smeliing, Nature 
feems very careful and follicitous, the Roftrum making 
fo great a part of the Heady that the Cranium it felf 
feemed very incoofiderable* in refpecfl to it, its inward 
Capacity containing^ not above the Quantity of a WaU 
nut. Not having difledied the Brain (which I hope I 
may have hereafter an Opportunity to do) I will not at 
prefent, infift on the Defcription of ihe feveral Foramt- 
nds I obferved on the infide, for the Paflage of the Nerves 
and Blood Fejfels. But, as I have fhewn, fince it has fo 
little Brains, Nature hath been very kind to it, in pre- 
ferving them, by the Defence of thofe Prominent Bones 
I have remarked, both length- ways and laterally be- 
hind ; and on the Sides too, 'tis guarded by the Tempos 
ral Procefs f of the Os Zygomaticum, 
The Os Spongiofum in each Noflril, feemed very curi- 
oufly contrived, by the abundance of Lamina it enjoys ; 
fo that the Memhrane that covers them, by this means, 
is render'd more Capacious, and capable of receiving 
more plentifully the Effluvia s of thofe Animals, it 
would either catch, or avoid and in this Senfory 'tis 
known, that Bruits excel even Man himfelf, and their 
Organ is more adapted for it. -
