Of the Stomachs and Cjuts of Six Carnivorous 
Quadrupeds ; fc. The Weejle 7 Fitchet, Polecat, Cat 7 
Dog and Fox. 
I Am not ignorant of what many Learned and Inquifi- 
tive Men, both at home and abroad, efpecially in this 
laft Century, have performed in the Anatomy of Ani- 
mals. After all whoni, if it be demanded, what is left for 
me to do? I Anfwer in the words of Seneca, (a) Mult urn 00 E P ift - 
adhuc reftat operk, multumq^ reftabit ; nec ulli Natb, pofl mille 
Sczcula, pr<zcludetur occafw, aliquid adhuc adjiciendi. 
I lhall omit moft of what is already noted by Anatomifts 5 
and prmcially fpeak of thofe things, which have hitherto 
been unobferv a. 
A Weejle. 
The Gulet of a Weejle ( which from the Ears to the fct- 
ting on of the Tail was 1 o inches ) about five inches long, 
* in Diametre, equally wide, and thin. Enters the Stomach 
at the left End. 
The Stomach about three inches long 5 proportionably., 
more than a Dogs. An inch in Diametre at the upper Ori- 
fice 5 at the nether, * 5 having a flexure towards its Con- 
junction with the Guts : lhapcd like to the body of a pair 
of Bag-Pipes. Thin, and plain, or without Folds. Which 
feems to be the property of the Stomachs of mod Rapaci- 
ous Quadrupeds. 
The Guts thin, and plain, or with little ftore of Glands, 
efpecially of fuch as in moft Carnivorous Animals are con- 
fpicuous. About a yard in length, and * an inch in Dia- 
metre 3 without any confiderable contraction, difference of 
Size, Texture or Subftance from the Stomach to the Anus. 
No Colon. No Cacum. So that it feems to be all but One 
[ingle Gut. Contrary to what is feen in any other Quadru- 
ped, I have opened. 
At the Anus, a Couple of Bags grow to the Gut 5 one
