veffels are fecretory Dads carrying a Fluid from thofe 
Arteries into the Cavity of the Stomach, making a 
Kind of Rivus perpetually running through theDu&us 
Alimentalis, I muft leave others to judge. 
The other Thing remarkable in the Stomachs of 
thefe large Animals is, that their internal Surface is 
covered by a Produ&ion of the Cuticle, which de- 
fends from the Lips quite through the alimentary 
Paflage. I am induced to believe, that the Cuticle is 
continued through the Inteflines as well in Man, as in 
large Animals } though its exceeding Finenefs may 
make it lefs obfervable. 
I have fent you a Piece of the firft Stomach of an 
Ox, in which the Veftels running in the Villi are 
filled with Wax, and the Cuticle raifed in Part} by 
which the above Particulars are fufficiently proved. 
If you think thefe Things new, and worth com- 
municating to the Royal Society , I defire you will 
communicate this to them in fuch Manner as you 
think moft proper : And that the Piece of Stomach 
(if worth the Acceptance of Sir Hans Sloane) may 
be prelented to him, with my belt Refpe&s, as an 
Acknowledgment of the Efteem of, 
SIR, 
Tour Humble Servant , 
Ch. Price.
