53c call’d a Tafter to the Tafte : They likewifc agree in this Am- 
nia', by reafon of the Diverfity of Motions in both, and few 
Mufcles that perform them, tho elegantly exprefs’d by the fa- 
mous Bellini : 4 Ojtis credit, fays he, huie tantummodo Vmverf e

By which : only the Variation of Probofcidi for Lingua, Surfum for 
bfque ad Palati Fomicem, and Deorftim (that is downward, when 
it is brought in betwixt the Fore-Limbs, or conveys any thing 
to the Mouth) for Fr&nulum ufquc , all the Motions of the one are 
compatible to the other. And Schott o gives a brief Account of 
the Motion of the Probofcis : 4 C 'if cumvolvtt turn undique O' max -

make a further Analogy with the Tongue and it : As the Gcnco- 
gloffu, by lengthening its Fibres from the fore and inner part of 
the Lower Jaw, whence it arifes, to the Root of the Tongue, 
where it is inferted, ftretches it forth ; So the Levatores Probof- 
tidis, by ledgthning their Fibres from the Tax-Wax all along the 
Top of the Head to the Root of the Trunk, ftretches it forth 
jiifo. : And as the PetraUores Probofcidu can very well perform the 
Motions of pulling it in. Analogous to the Stylogloffis \ fo the two 
Antagonifts on either fide can pall it to the adverfe fide, tha-t 
it may perform the Adions of the Ceratogloffis, while the Con- 
gener F e trail ores can pull it to that fame fide, where they ad, 
as is fa id. When I lay, that the Fibres from before and behind 
defeend obliquely from the tendinous Infertions at the middle 
ic thofe at the fide, I do not mean that they run Amply fo, but 
that the Fibres of each Mafcle are difpos’d into different Strata, 
and that thefe Strata do interfed each other, like Lozenges, or 
as we fee the Fibres in the Mujculus oblique Afcendens .interfer- 
ing thofs in the Mufcultu oblique Vefcendens Abdominis , and fo on ^ 
that is to fay,, whereas one Series of Fibres feems to defeend 
<«hli<guehf, th.e next underneath that afesnds again, and fo conti-
