The afeending Cavai being tied above the Dia-

biervauon, fo I cannot fay- how proper it was for 
luch an Examination ^ but it is' evident, his Obferva- 
tion does not tally, with the Calculations made from 
IS r Heart ; where the pulmonary Artery is to. 
the Sum oEall the pulmonary ^ Veins 'as 10065 to

Ovary, and a Putrefadion of the right Kidney from 
"omP^effed ) had her Lungs full

ILungs was very much impeded, and of Confequence,

And this I am the rather induced to believe from 
examining the fecond Heart, which is of a Child near- 
y twelve Months old. As to its Death, I can fay 
nothing
