The Wf^/dpipe ov Arteria ^vfpera v/zs very fhort, as it 
' iTiufl: needs be, this fifli having no neck. The Larynx 
was of a fmgukr figure and very remarkable, which I 
■ftall delcribe with the parts belonging to the head. 
But l^efore I leave. the Ihorax I muft take notice of a 
rfeeniingt Glandulousbody that did lye of each fide the t?"^^;-* 
ap'me about two inches broad and the length of ten or 
.eleven Ribs. It was continued likewife a little over 
fbnie of the Sanguinary Veffels that went to tlie head. 
It was a curious contexture of fanguinary veffels vari- . 
ouOy contorted and winding, emerging from the Medulla 
.Spinalis at tlie holes where the Nerves come out becween 
,the Ribs, and as we afterwards obferved the fame fub- 
fl:ance Jikewife for a good thicknefs covered the Me- 
•dtdU Spinalis throughout. In the Thorax in Ibme places 
'twas above aquartcrof an Inch thick, but everywhere - ' 
it appeared of the fame Contexture, a winding and 
convolution of bloud-Veflfels. What this part may be, 
•is more difficult to alFign,fince it does not ufually occur 
in the diffedionof other Animals, and has not been ta- 
ken notice of, as I know of, by any in this. But w^he- 
ther it may be that the heat of fo much bloud contained 
in fo many veflTels may ferve for the invigorating the 
Animal Spirits in the Medulla Spimlis, or whether it may 
not be a Glandulousbody andfb ferve for the drainino- 
of the ferofitiesof the bloud and thereby render it fitter 
for generating Spirits, or what other ufes it may have, 
is to me yet obfcure. Formei ly diflTeaing a fidi whicli
