Laurel Water ; but no Mucus , as in the Puppy : Some 
of the Villi feemed llightly inflamed, the Blood Vef- 
fels being very turgid: There was a great deal of 
Mucus in the Oefophagus , which did not feem in- 
flamed. On opening the Thorax , the Lungs appear’d 
exceedingly contracted, and very red and inflamed. 
In this Dog it was very evident, that the Pericar- 
dium did not adhere to the Diaphragm as in erctt 
Animals, here being a Diftance of above two Inches, 
which was fill’d up by an Appendix to the right 
Lung ; on removing which the Vena cava run from 
the Diaphragm about three Inches to the Pericar- 
dium quite free, not adhering to the Back by any Fi- 
bres or Membranes, and was entirely envelop’d by 
this Appendix of the Lung. The Vena cava and 
all the Veins were vaftly diftended, and the Blood in 
them coagulated, tho’ the Body was yet hot : There 
was little or no Blood in the Aorta \ only on prefling it, 
a fmall Quantity of a tranfparent Fluid, which I took 
for Serum , flowed out of it. The Blood was ftrong- 
ly coagulated in the right Auricle and Ventricle 
of the Heart, being of a very dark Colour, and 
fill’d them quite ; but the left Auricle and Ventri- 
cle contained only a fmall Clot of congealed Blood, 
which' look’d more red and florid : I kept fome Clots 
of the Blood out of the Vein, and alfo out of the 
left Ventricle, twenty-four Hours, but neither of 
them liquified or run into Serum. I had the Head 
cut off, but Bufinefs preventing, I did not open it till 
twenty-four Hours after j a great deal of Blood drain- 
ed from it, and upon opening it, the Veflels did not 
then appear diftended, but the Dura Mater look’d 
livid :
