Height, after the Auricle and Blood-veffels were cut 
off tranfverfely.

Experiment II, 
Taking the Heart out of an Ox as foon as I pof- 
fibly could after he was kill’d, and having cleanfed 
it from the Blood, by walhing it in warm Water, I 
fill’d both the Ventricles with melted Wax, with- 
out any diftending Force more than by pouring it 
from the Ladle. The Heat of the Wax feem’d 
rather to contract the Fibres, and to leffen the Ca- 
pacities of the Ventricles; for fome of the Wax 
kept running out from the Heart after I had done 
pouring it from the Ladle.

The Capacity of the right Ventricle was equal to 
5| cubic Inches. The Capacity of the left Ventri- 
cles was not quite 5 cubic Inches. 
CXLVIII. 
From thefe Experiments it manifeftly appears, 
that the laft or reftitutive Motion of the Heart is to 
dilate or open the Ventricles, and that without 
any Affiftance or Impulfe from the refluent Blood.
