Quadrupeds. 
on each fide. Each of them, fill cl, about the bignefs of a 
large Garden-Tea* : containing a yellow, and thickifh Li- 
quor, extraordinary fetid, and having the peculiar fcent of 
the Animal in the mod intenfe degree. Over the Bags or 
Bladders, is fpread the SphinBer-Mufcle , which compreffing 
Them and the ^72^5 both together, forceth them to a con- 
temporary evacution. 
I have not yet diftected the Civet-Cat, but fuppofe, that 
thefe Bags are analogous to thofe that contain the Civet in 
that Animal. 
Thefe Bags, fo far as I have obferv'd, are proper to all 
Carnivorous Quadrupeds , and thofe only : as will further 
appear by the following Examples. 
A Fitcbet. 
A FITCHET, being of kin to the Weejle 5 hath alfo a 
Stomach and Guts much alike. 
The Guts about a yard and two inches. At moft, but 
two. The firft, about two feet and * long $ and * ths of an 
inch over, where wideft. Hath five or fix Necks or Con- 
tractions. And a little before moft of them, ftands a fmall 
Clufter of Glands, about as big as a Silver Half-peny. The 
fecond, is about \ a quarter of a yard long, and i an inch 
over where wideft. Very thin, plain, and without any 
Glands vifible to the bare Eye. 
On each fide the Anus, there is alfo a Bag of fetid Liquor, 
with the (link of the Animal. 
The Guts of thefe Two Animals, and I fuppofe like- 
wife of the Ferret, are the moft fimpte, and plain, of all I 
have obferv'd in Quadrupeds. 
A Vole-Cat. 
The Gulet and Stomach of a POLE-CAT, are in ftiape 
like thofe of a Weejle. But the Guts are different. 
They may be reckoned, four. The firft, about * of a. yard 
long 5 1 an inch over 5 very thin, and plain. 
The fecond, * of a yard in length 5 * of an inch over, and 
in fome places more. This Gut is Glandulous and very 
thick, in comparifon witk the other, from end to end. The 
Glands
