Of Birds. 55 
About two feet and * long. Where it joyns with the Great- 
er, ftands the end of the Dutlus Inteftinalis, accurately de- 
fcribed (a) by Dr. Walter Need ham. (a) lib. de 
TheGreater, where wideft 1 an inch. The Retlumfymc- ^ For " 
what more. The Cceca near eight inches long : at the fur- 
ther end, above * of an inch over 3 but where they open 
into the Return, no thicker than the great firing of a Bafe- 
Viol. 
'Tis proper to the Gallinaceous kind, to have a great Gi- 
zard. That of a good big Turkey, near eight Ounces Troy. 
Whereas that of a Japan Peacockjs 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 C&ca. 
Of a Tame ^Pigeon, 
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 5 
and an inch and * deep. Not fo diftindt from the Gulet, 
as in the Gallinaceous kjnd^ this and the Gulet running 
one into another in a direct Line. 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-? igeoii, is curioufly lhap'd 3 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 Pigeott. 
The Crop of the Cropper-Dove, is almoft of the fame 
Figure. But the Gulet of a wonderful extent 5 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 Gizard\yj a Mufcular Neck. 
The Gizard rounder than of moft other Birds. The Muf- 
cules very thick and high in the middle, and flater at the 
edges. The Deduffor ftands at the top of it, and the Redutlor 
at the bottom.
