4 Inches long, and 2 \ Inches broad the reft of the length is 
made out by the Cartilage Enfiformis. 
The Loins confift of three Vertebra, whofe Spinal ProceflTes are^ e Ver re- 
but lhort •, their tranfverfe ProcelTes a little longer than thofe in e f ! ^ e 
the Back •, which befide their Weight, (Tor which fee the Tabled ~ om: - 
is all that is material about them. 
The Os Sacrum con lifts of five Bones i they are of a flat Sur- Os Sacrum, 
face before (B) each having three Procefles (viz., two oblique, 7 ^- 4 
and one Spinal, under which the Spinal Marrow defcends) be- 4* 
hind. They are perforated before by 4 Pair of Hole;, plac’d at 
their Interftice; on each fide. It is 12 Inches long and 7 \ 
broad, where ’tis articulated with the OJfa innominata above, and 
6 Inches broad at the lower part. See Fig. 4 and 5. 
The fat' confifts of twenty nine Vertebra, whofe differences ar ef/« Verfe- 
to be feen in the following Tables. From the Os Sacrum to the b f £ °f l ^ e 
Eight they have five Proceff.s, viz., two tranfverfe, two oblique, 7 **'* 
and one Spinal, under which the Spinal Marrow defcends, fend- 
ing forth a Conjugation of Nerves from betwixt each of them. 
From the Eighth to the Sixteenth each has 4 Procefles, viz., two 
longitudinal behind, betwixt which Tie remainder of the Spinal 
Marrow ftiil defcends, and two tranfverfe ; The reft have no Pro- 
cefs at ail, but are of a kind of quadrangular Figure, having a 
Ridge which defcends before and behind, and on eachlide^ be- 
ing fomewhat bigger at each end, and fmaller at the middle. 
All the Vertebra , as well in the Neck and Back, as Tail, had 
Cartilages, which run betwixt each of them , they were about 
| Inch thick in the Back, thinner in the Neck, and thicker pro- 
portionably in the Tail. Thefe Cartilages l was obliged to fup- 
ply with Leather in mounting the Sceleton, as fhiil be Ihewn. 
So much for the Trunk. 
Becaufe this is a Quadruped, we rhall divide the Extremities?'/*; Fore 
into the fore and hind ones. We begin the fore Extremities at Extremities 
the Scapula, which is ufuaily divided into its Head, Neck, Sptne, Scapula, 
Proceffes, fore and hind Cavities, ( i. e. thefe Parts before and 
behind the Spine) its concave part, which lies upon the Ribs, 
and its convex or outer part, arid its Margin. The Head (a.) 
which receives the Os humeri , is oblong, fbecaufe the motion of 
the Hamer w perform'd by this Animal, is rather Flexion and 
Extenfion, than Addudfeion or Abduftion) wherefore the Cavity 
being 5 \ Inches long, is only 3 ^ Inches broad', and the Margin 
^f the Bone arifing from the fore and back-part (b. b.) makes itr
