Length, yet his external Shape differs from that of 
the Female^ Fir/y Becaufe, as 1 have already faid, he 
is much lefs. Secondly^ Becaufe, the third Hole, n)lz,, 
that under the Belly, is wanting in the Male, fkird- 
ly^ Becaufe the Anus of the Male is furrounded with 
a thick cartilaginous Membrane, of near an orbicular 
Figure, about a Line broad, externally convex, inter- 
nally concave ; on the Middle of which appears a 
Tubercle, divided by a tine Slit, which lets out the 
Excrements and a very final! capillary Procefs {Fig,

The Cavity of the Belly contained a limpid Hu- 
mour, the tranfverfal Fibres, the alimentary Canals, 
and fpermatic VelTels. 
The alimentary Paffages had the fame Situation 
and Strudure as in the Female ^ the anterior Canal 
was of a whitilh Colour, the pofterior, or wrinkled 
one, of a pale brown. 
The fpermatick Velfels were very white and flen- 
der, yielding, when wounded, a milky Humour. They . 
are divided into two fmall Branches, hanging out of 
a vermicular Procefs ( fcarce an Inch long ) which 
lies in the Belly, in that Place where the alimentary 
Canals are joined together, and leans on the Side of 
the wrinkled Canal, by the Help of the tranfverfal ^ 
Fibres. Thefe Branches, in their Progrefs hence, 
creeping above and below the Canal of the Aliments, 
are very often refieded, intorted and folded ^ one at 
length freed from its Windings, ftretches away ftrait 
towards the AnuSy into which it is inferted in the 
Shape of a pretty ftiff Veffel ; but the other, at the 
Side of the wrinkled Canal, being preffed, colleded, 
and equally infleded, almoft through its whole Ex- 
' tent.
