j 2 The Stomachs and Guts. 
over 3 next the Stomach, two. Sprinkled with many fmall 
Glands, as it is, more or lcfs, in all Birds. 
At the bottom of it, the Echinus 5 common to all Birds 
that I have open d. But here lefs confpicuous. The Figure 
hath not exprefs'd it. It hath always a Lining of much 
larger Glands than thofe in the Gulet or Crap 5 commonly 
of an Oval Figure, and each of them with an open mouth 
fpewing out a Mucus. 
He hath no Gizard ( as hath the Oftrich ) 5 yet a thick 
Mufcular Stomach, as in other Carnivorous Birds. Almoft 
of an Oval fhape ; and fmall with refpedt. to the Guts : ex- 
preffed fomewhat too big for the Scale, (as alfo the Gulet 
and Guts) in the Figure. The Pylorus guarded with a kind 
of Valve. 
The Guts not two yards and half long. Befide the two 
Caeca, are three. The larger, next the Stomach : as it is, in 
almoft all other Birds. About three inches and * over, 
where wideft. The fmaller, fomewhat above two. The 
Retlum, the largeft, fc. about four. Much wider than 
even thofe of a Horfe, excepting only his Caecum and his 
Colon. 
He hath two Caeca 3 as have almoft all Birds. Yet here 
very fmall, about ** a foot long, but no thicker than a 
Womans little Finger. Here, as in all other Birds, making 
obtufe Angles with the Re Hum. So that what is faid of them 
in Mr. Willughbys Ornithologia, — Cum Inteftino Reffo an- 
gulos acutos faciuni : was only a flip of that moft accurate 
Pen. 
The Return is feparated from the next above, by a Con- 
nivent Valve. 
Of an Owle. 
The Gulet of a young Grey- OWLE, is of an indifferent 
fize. At the bottom of it, the Echinus. And fomewhat 
more apparent, than in the Cafowary, but lefs than in moft 
frugivorous Birds. 
The Stomach, a middle Thing betwixt that of other 
Carnivorous Birds, and a Gizard, fc. a plain Bag, yet in the 
middle fomewhat Tendinous. 
The Guts in length two feet and V, Three, befides the 
Caeca.
