I next apply’d my felf to the Extraction of the Vnrta and 
Bladder t becaufe the Partes Gencrationi Jnfervientes are the molt 
taken notice of in Comparative Anatomy. I could not get the Vafa 
Praparantia preferv’d ; and only got out the Cterus itfelf, with 
the Cornua , Ovaria t and part of the Ligamenta Lata , (a. a.) of ali 
which fee the figure. ’Tis not unlike the Vterns of fuch Ani- 
mals as bring forth feveral at one Litter, as they caU it ; for 
when 1 had inflated it, I perceiv’d feveral Protuberances to arife, 
(e. e.) as if they had been lo many Cellules , fuch as Bitches, Cats, 
Hares, &c. have, for containing the feveral Fanis's with their 
proper Placenta and Jnvolucra , which might have determin’d me 
to believe they bring forth more than one at a time, had not Au- 
thors affirm’d the contrary. For whereas the Vterus of fuch as 
bring forth but one at a time, is proportionably large, and the 
Cornua fmall ; here the Body of the Vtcrus was fo final! ( c. ) 
that one would think it were nothing but a Bivium to the 2 CV- 
nua : For after the Tube had paft the Corona , which is pretty 
ftrong arid dole, I obferv’d the Cornua (/./.) t© fuell on every 
fide by Inflation, leaving a Sulcus in the middle (d.) and thefe 
different Protuberances to arife with Deprelfions, as fo many 
Interlaces betwixt them. This Furrow (d.) feera’d to me to 
point out the Septum , whereby the Cornua were divided from 
each other j and thefe Interlaces to denote, as it were, fo many 
Membranes, whereby theie Protuberances were bounded and 
form’d into Cellules , each communicating with one another* 
Thefe Protuberances (e.e.) were regularly difpos’d, 2 or 3 in 
Number on each fide of. the Septum , and tho’ fome of them be 
obliterated, yet the F'efligia of others do ftiU remain obvious 
in the dry’d Vterw y as it is now repofited in our Hall. I had 
a great Inclination to open one of thefe Cornua or Cellules t 
to know the truth of what I fufpeeffed ; but would not adven- 
ture, for fear of fpoiling the Preparation. Eifth of the Ova - 
ria was as big as a large Apple, with the Ova fitly diftinguilh’d 
by their proper Membranes } being for the molt part about the 
bignefs of a fmall Pea, and all involv’d within a common thin 
and pellucid Tunicle, through which they Shone-, but to defend 
them there was provided a loofe thick wrinkled Tunicle, ( i. ) 
which I could remove at pleafure, it no wife adhering to the O- 
varia ; but fluctuated above them, and proceeded from the Cor- 
nua (g.) I open'd one or two of thefe Ova , and found them 
filled "with a thin Limpid Subftance, not unlike to I lydatides , 
but
