Mr. Ray in the ftomach of the Porpeft he differed, 
found a great number of Sand-Eeles, Launces, or as 
OiiVdby Ge/her,Jmmodyu. Dan. Major found in his the 
Spines of fifheSylinall Tc/imaand particles of other of the 
Teftaceous and Cruftaceous kind,and Sand.In ours we ob- 
fcrved the Spines of filhes, and 2 or 5 Herrings pretty in- 
tire^ having only their outward Parts corroded Like- 
wife in the Oe/opha^us or Gu/a (whole inward Tunicle 
was alrtioft the fame with that of the firft ftomach ) were 
tile bones and fpines of fev^ral fifhes. In the fecondand 
third ftomach was only aChymous fubftance or a CoIU- 
qmrnentum Chylofam Uvido-dhefcms^ as Major words it. 
Digepon here feems to be performed by a gradual 
Corrofion firftof the outward parts, and fo penetrating 
inwards. But whence the Menftruum that "f^erforms this 
Office is traniinitted, is di'Bcult to determine. For in the 
inward Tunicle of the firft Stomach tliere are no Glands 
leated, that might fcparate fuch a liquor ; nor are the 
P//f^ Of Kug^t lb confiderable, as to contain any great 
quantity of the Reliques of a former digeftion, as to 
krve for a fucceeding ferment; But feem rather a ftrong 
clofe \vhite membrane like the inward Pellicle of the 
Gizard of fowlS;, and by this means lefs capable of any 
injury from thebones and fragments of fhells that are oft 
contained in it. But as in fowls there is placed a little 
above the Gizard abundance of Glands, thatfecern a li- 
quor that ferves for the moiftei]ing and digefl:in<T their 
hard food, which afterwards is farther comminuated by 
the grinding of the ftrong Mufcles of that Ventricle ; 
lo I am apt to think that in this filh, the GUnMx Maxil- 
Ltres and thcfe other that are very large and numerous 
and are placed about th^ farms and the neighboring- parts^ 
do feparate ^faliva or liquor that may "conduce much 
tothisufc ; unlefs we may think that that large Glan^ 
dulous Tunicle in the fecond ftomach may fecern a Juice 
there, that may regurgitate uito the lirft. However
