The SKELETON of a PORPESS, or Sea-Hog. (b) The 
Defcription and Anatomy of the Animal is given us by csna Pvon- 
Bartholin (Hift.Cent.2.) ByMr.% (Phil.Tranf. N. 7 6'.) dekm ' 
By Dan. Major (Mifcel. Curiof. German. An. 4.) And lately 
more largely by Dr. Edward Tyfon. Some of the particu- 
lars more remarkable are, That the Fat, which is an inch 
thick, encompaffeth the whole Body, as in a Hog. That 
the Fibers which run through the Fat from the Membrana 
Carnofa to the Skin, do obliquely decuffate one another 
like a Lattice. And I may here obferve, That the like 
DeculTation is made betwixt the white and red Fibers of all 
Mufcules. 
Tis further noted, That the Fat is nothing elfe but Oil 
contained in a great number of little Bladders. I add 3 
That all thefe Bladders are the continuation of the Fibers 
which decullate, in a finer Work. And that there is no 
difference betwixt the faid Fibers and thofe of the Membra- 
na Camofa ,faving their Relaxation, ( as when a Spung fwells 
with water ) by the interpofition of Oil. 
The Stomach remarkable, confuting of three Bags. The 
Guts eleven times the length of the Fifh. The Glands of 
the Kidneys fo dimncl, that each having a white fubftance 
in its centre,and out of that its Papittafczmcd to be another 
little Kidney, about the bignefs of a large Peas. And I fhall 
here take notice, That the whitilh fubftance within every 
Gland, and the fame which is in the Kidneys of other 
Animals, is truly Carneous or Mufcular, by which the 
conveyance of the Urinous parts of the Blood into the 
Pelvis is promoted. 
The Paps are placed one on each fide the Pudendum. 
The Ovaria ( it being a young Filh ) not above an inch 
long, and thick as a Goofe-QuilL The Diaphragme, with- 
out the ufual Tendon in the centre. The Heart, with two 
Ventricles and two Auricles. The Foramen Ovale, clofed.
