toward the Forehead , whence defcending from above the Eye, 
it came, and with its Partner fill’d up that hollownels in the Os 
-j .y , Talati (k.) and coming Hill lowe , made up the back part of 
i ‘ ' J ' the Frank or Probofcis. Afterwards the Body being turn’d over,

Tax Wax. which arifcs from a Spina in the back part of the Scull (cc.) 
Fi£. 6 . whence running backward along the Sides of the feven Vertebra 
of the Neck, it terminated betwixt the 6th and 7th I'erttbr* of ihe 
Back, becoming Hill thinner in its Progrefs. It was about fix 
Inches broad, pretty thick, and defcended obliquely from the 
Top of the Spina Vertebrarum to above the Ribs, and cover’d all 
the Mufcles which arife from the Neck, and fupport the Head ; 
alHIting them, (as Dr. Minims rightly obfervesj becaufe the 
Head; of Quadrupeds, efpecially of this Animal, being more 
pendent, have more need of Supporters than the Head of a 
Man, where this Contrivance is wanting. Dr. Moulins tells us* 
that it was plac’d edgewife} the Realon of which may be, becaufe 
of the Spines of the four firft Vetebra of the Back, which are a. 
Inches broad ; whence che Tax-Wax , running forward (where 
the Spines are narrow, or where there are no Spines at all, as in 
the three firft Vertebra of the NeckJ in a ftreight Line to the 
Scull, the fpace below it for the Mufcles to move in, muft be the 
fame at the Neck as at the Spina , where the Epipbyfes keep their 
per '.tores Upper Sides at fuch a diftance. From above this Tax- Wax in 
Pioboicicies. the Neck, do arife two Mufcles, thinner and narrower at firft, 
but thicket and broader as they go to the Scull, where they firm- 
f .,7 ly adhere to the Sides of a large Sinus in its back part (bb.)

they come over againft the Hole for the Root of the Trunk (aj

up the forepart of the Trunk with extremity. 
Thus you have the Probofcis trac’d from its-Origin-, viz.. That 
’tis compos’d of two Pair of Mufcles ^ one whereof makes up its 
back-part, which arifes from the Sternum, and paQes with ftrei- ht 
Fibres in below the Os Zygomaticum ; and from thence forward, 
till it makes up the Body of the Trunk itfelf. Another Pair, which
