1 6 The Stomachs and Guts. 
Of all the Quadrupeds I have open d ? peculiar to this 
Animal, a Horje, and a Coney ( perhaps alfo an Afs and a 
Hare ) to have a true Colon : if that of a Man be the ftand- 
ard for the Definition of it. 
The Laft, or Stercoraceum, is alfo * of a yard long. Scarce 
any where more than * an inch over $ and towards the 
Anus, not fo much. Whereas in moft Quadrupeds, ns there 
wideft. 
Here are no Bags, as above defcribed in the Carnivo- 
rous Animals. 
CHAP. IV. 
Of GRAMINIVOROVS QZJADRVPEDS ; a 
Sheep and a Calf. 
<$Jt Sheep. 
THe Gulet of a SHEEP ( three years old, and weighing 
120 pounds Haverdupoife) about an inch and * over : 
which with refpecl: to the Panch is but fmall. Compofed 
of feveral Organical Parts : which becaufe they are here, as 
well as in fome other larger Animals, more confpicuous, I 
fhali fomewhat more particularly defcnbe them. 
They are all of them, by Anatomifts,x\{x\2\\y, but impro- 
perly called Coats : for the inermoft, are the chief Body of 
the Gulet : So that 'tis the fame, as to call the Wood of a 
hollow Plant, one of its Coats. 'Tis therefore compofed of 
Five Membranes 5 Three in the middlejined with a Fourth, 
and faced with a Fifth. 
TheUtmoft, andthelnmoft, are both Cuticular. The 
Inmoft, or Glandulata , exceeding white, and very fri- 
able : anfwerable to the outward Rind of the Root of a 
Plant. 
The next to it, is the Nervous. Which here,and in fome 
other Voraceous Animals, is fo very thick, that it may 
more properly be called the CORPVS NERVOSVM. Com- 
pofed of Fibers, partly running by the length of the Gulet, 
and in part tranverfiy to the two Mufcular Membranes.
