Of Quadrupeds. 
Colo?i, a ? of a yard over. And in length, a full yard. So 
that it is more than twice as big as the Stomach. 
The Learned Dr. Glifon, in fpeaking of the Stomachs of 
Quadrupeds, faith, That a Rabbit and a Horfe have a double 
C tecum. His words are thefe } In Equis, Cunicid'vs, & P or- 
ceins Indic'vs, C tecum duplex deprehendittir. But herein he 
is miftaken. As to a Rabbit, the contrary hath been feen in 
the Guts prefented entire before this Honourable Prefence. 
And who ever will take the pains to examine all the Guts of 
a Horfe, will find, That neither hath he, any more than 
One C tecum, which I have above defcrib'd. 
The Third Gut, is the Colon. The unufual fhape, and pro- 
digious Amplitude whereof, might give occafion to the 
Doctor to miftake it for another C tecum. So that although 
a Horfe hath but one fingle C tecum $ yet may he not impro- 
perly be faid to have a Treble Colon $ fc. Two Ample ones, 
next the C tecum 5 and a fmaller one next the Reftum. Un- 
lefs any pleafe rather to call the two Great ones, the two 
BELLIES of one and the {duxi&Colon. 
The Firft Belly next the C cecum, is no lefs where wideft, 
than * of a yard over 5 and in length, above a yard and i 
The Second Belly ,next the Reftumjs wide as the former $ 
and above a yard long. So that each of thefe Bellies are 
bigger than the C tecum. That next the C tecum half as big 
again : And about four times as big as the Stomach. 
Thefe two Bellies are joyn d together by a NecJ^, about 
four inches over, and * of a yard long. Gather d likewife 
into Cells, as all the other parts of the Colon. But with four 
Ligaments, as the C tecum. By which alfo they lie fquare. 
And upon a pafiing view, might be another occafion of the 
forementioned miftake. So that if any one (hall call either 
of thefe Bellies, a C tecum 5 then a Horfe will not have two 
only, but three Ctecums. But thefe Bellies have neither of 
them, the defining property of a 6 'tecum 5 which is, To be 
pervious at one end only. 
The fmall Colon, or the fmaller part of it, runs betwixt 
the Second Belly and the Return : likewife full of Cells, con- 
tain'd together by two oppofite Ligaments as in other 
Animals. Tis about three inches over 5 and fix yards 
long. 
The Reftum, very thick and Mufcular, as in moft other 
large
