Water as mfuch as thofe Water-Fowls, that the Caflor 
is a Subftance provided by Nature for him to greefe

foaking quite to his Ski n: and as the Cafior is im- 
pregnated with penetrating pungent Particles, it may 
likewife contribute ^to keep off the Cold and Chill 
which the Water might otherwife ftrike to his Body, . 
by remaining a long time in it. 
As none of the Authors I have met with have gi- 
ven any Delineation of the Parts of Generation, or 
of the Receptacles of the Caflor in a Female Beaver, 
I have drawn them after Nature, as they are repje- 
fented in the Figure. Vide Fig.
