THeLEG of a GREENLAND STAG Itis 
' fcarce four Inches long. Nor above \ d of an Inch 
over. Cover'd all over with very Ihort hair, of the ordi- 
nary ruffet or reddilh brown colour. The hoofs fomewhat 
black , ? inch long , * broad , and ? high. Given by 
Mr. V aimer. 
The BONES of aSTAGS heart. About an inch 
and I long, and * broad. Very thin, but yet hard and folid. 
They feem to be a help for the ftronger and more fteady 
motion of the Mufcules of the heart. Butchers often find 
the like in the heart of an Ox $ which are eafily fubftituted 
for the former : and I would as foon truft the one, as the 
other. 
A STAGS TEARS. A thicken d Excretion from 
the inward Angle of his Eye. In colour and confidence 
almoft like to Mirrh 5 or Ear-wax that has been long 
harden d in the Ear. Of a ftrong (linking fmell, like that 
of the Animal's fweat. They are generally affirmed 
to be fudorifick, and of an Alexipharmick nature. And 
if they were as eafie to be had, as ibme Womens, it were 
worth the trying. 
They are quite a different thing from that little round 
and hard Bone, which Scaliger defcribes (a) by the Name „J 
of Lachryma Cervina, and which he affirms to grow in the 
great Corner of a Stags Eye to the Bone, after an hundred 
years old. I doubt a ftranger fight, than the Ludus Secu- 
larise fuch as no man (but himfelf) everfaw, or lhall 
fee. 
The MUSK DEER. Capeolus MofchL Gefner 
reckoning up the Names, tells us, That the Englijh call 
him a Mus\ Cat. But is better at other Languages. 
He breeds in China, and the Eaft Indies. Not ill piclrurcl
