Of Birdr, 
About two feet arid * long. Where it joyns with tile Great- 
er, ftands the end of the VuRus Inteftinalis? accurately de- 
fcribed (a) by Dr. Walter Needham. (a) Lib. d e 
The Greater, where wideft \ an inch. The Rettumfymc- ^ 0 u o For " 
what more. The Caca near eight inches long : at the fur- 
ther end, above * of an inch over 3 but where they open 
into the Retlum? no thicker than the great firing of a Bafe- 
Viol. 
'Tis proper to the Gallinaceous kind? to have a great Qi- 
zard. That of a good big Turkey? near eight Ounces Troy. 
Whereas that of a Japan Peacock^ not above two : yet the 
Body about half as big as that of the Turkey. 
Not only all the Gallinaceous kind 3 but the Duck_ , and, I 
fuppofe, all of that kind, have two very long Caeca, 
Of a Tame c Pige6n. 
The Gulet of a Tame PIGEON, near the Throat, very 
wide 3 almoft an inch and ? over. 
The Crop is above three inches broad 3 above two, long 3 
a,nd an inch and * deep. Not fo diftincl: from the Gulet, 
as in the Gallinaceous kind-^ this and the Gulet running 
one into another in a direclLine. In the Belly of it, are 
few vifible Glands: but the Neck thence down to the 
Echinus? is curioufly Lined with fix or feven Glandulous 
Laces. 
The Crop of a Carrier-Pigeon? is curioufly lhap'd 5 as it 
were Treble-Belly 'd : the two outmoft or fide-Bellies, open- 
ing into that in the middle. The bottom and Neck where- 
of, are lined with feveral Glandulous Laces, as that of the 
Tame Pigeon, 
The Crop of the Cropper-Dovt? is almoft of the fame 
Figure. But the Gulet of a wonderful extent 3 when blown 
up lightly, above nine inches in the girth. 
The Echinus large, and fo the Glands therein 3 for the 
fight of which, I have reprefented it infide outward. Divid- 
ed, as ufually, from the Gi^ardby a Mufcular Neck. 
The Gizard rounder than of mod other Birds. The Muf 
cules very thick and high in the middle, and flater at the 
edges. The Dedutlor ftands at the top of it, and the Redfillor 
at the bottom.
