in Calceolarias Mufauih. That ill Kirchers China Illufirata 
faulty as to the Snout and Feet. That of Johnflon ab- 
furd. Almoft every where worfe defcrib'd. That he is 
a two-horrid Animal, fays Aldrovandus, all agree, except 
Simeon Sethi, who faith he hath but one. Neither of which 
is true. The Description likewife given by Scaliger, and 
out of him by Chiocco in Calceolarias Mufawn is falfe, and 
very defective. The beft I find is amongft the German 
Tranfactions. To which I would have refer d the Rea- 
der, but that comparing it with That I had drawn up before 
I met with it, I fee fome differences. 
From his Nofe end to his Tail, a yard and ? a foot long. 
His Head above ? a foot. His Neck * of a yard. His Fore- 
head three inches broad. His Nofe end fcarce i of an inch,

thick as Hogs Briftles: confifting of brown and white porti-

Legs, brown 5 On the Belly and under the Skut,whitifh. As 
it were frizled, efpecially on the Back and Belly,by a kind of 
undulation. Softer than in moft Animals, and exceeding 
light and rare. For being fplit, and view'd with a Glafs,
