toward the inner or outer Table, and fometimes two meeting 
together in the middle frame a third. In a word, as there is 
no certain Rule obferv’d in their Figure, fo neither is there any 
in their Communication. The (lift a nee they fill up between' the 
two Tables before is n Inches, at the Sides 8 Inches, toward 
the back-part but 3 Inches, arid at the Hole for the Spinal Mar- 
row (0 .) both Tables meet together ^ for the Brain is plac’d in 
the lower and back-part of the Scull (Fig. 5.^ All thefe Cellules 
were empty, and only obduc’d with a thin Membrane. And Jjere 
I cannot but take Notice of what Dr. Moulint obferves, namely, 
that there are feveral Blood Veffels pleafantly diffeminated 
throughout the Surface of thefe Cellules with different Divari- 
cations*, and Tentz.elins fays, he obferv’d feveral 1 ineaments of 
Veffels after the fame manner. This was not to be obferv’d in 
ours at all, nor fo much as the Vefiigium of a Veffel to be feen ; the 
reafon whereof, I fuppofe to be this : When the one was burnt 
in Ireland , and the other over- whelm’d with Earth in Germany, 
both fuffering violent Deaths, could not but have vail Struglings 
and Wreftlings, fuch as Dr. Moulins fays his had, and fuch as 
Tentzclirn fuppofes that in Germany to have had alfo. By thefe 
violent Motions, the Blood could not but be propeli’d with a vaft 
force from the greater Trunks to the fmallft' Capillaries, where 
it diftended the Veffels, and rendred them fo perceptible to 
the view after the Death of the Animal • whereas this we treat 
of, having labour’d of a languifhing Diflemper for fometime, as 
appears by ^ the Polypus's found in the Heart and other Veffels, 
the Blood could not but be very languid, and fcarce convey it- 
felf to thefe Capillaries ; So that the Sides of the Veffels being 
collaps’d, they were rendred imperceptible: But that which is 
more remarkable is, that not fo much as any of the Sulci , which 
thefe Veffels might have made in the Lamina, do at all appear*, 
and yet the Sulci were ftill very evident in the bones found in 
Germany, with the Blood Veffels containing the dry Blood ftridly 
glued to them, and chang’d into a yellowifh Colour, and that 
perhaps after thoufands of Years, as the fame Author : bferves. 
Indeed upon viewing more narrowly the Cellules, 1 find all of their 
Lamina endued with fmall Holes of an indefinite Number, and 
irregularly plac’d, through which thefe Veflels feem to have paffc 
from one Cellule to another : So that tho’ not fo obfervable, yet 
bo doubt they have been difpers’d through them in this as well as 
if* other Ekybstnts*.
