fifteen Pieces of Silver and Copper-Money. The firfl: 
Stomach, or Crop wbs eTtceedingiy tender, and oett- 
tain’d, crammM as it was, between three and four 
Quarts The Glands on the top of the Crop were ve- 
ry large and numerous, in the Order deferib’d by Dr. 
Brown, and of the Bignels of little Oedi Cancrorum^ 
and of a watery-brown Colour j which being fo'difie- 
rent from the Colour of the Stomach, that added to the 
pretty Order they are placed in, makes ’em very re- 
' markable. The Crop lay within the Thorax, but fo 
that the Gizzard lay higher. . The Loofenefs and Like- 
nefs to Flannel, of the inner Coat of the Gizzard, men- 
tioned by Brown, was very remarkable in this Bird; 
but the Texture in the Mufcular Part of it did not feem 
proportionably ftrong to that in other Birds, being 
broader, thinner, and more flaccid. The Guts, as near 
as I pould meafure them, were about twenty fix Yards 
long. The two Ccecumsy which are about thirty four 
Inches long each, and which have beautiful fpiral 
Valves, were Appendages of the very Beginning of the 
Colon. The Tefticles lay as in other Fowls, very high, 
and lefs than Pidgeons Eggs, but longer. I found the 
Liver to have four Lobes, and thought I had met with 
a Gall-Bladder, but it appear’d at laft to be only the 
Membrane of the Liver rais’d by fome Accident from 
its inner Subftance. The Gland under the Stomach, 
which Dr. Brown fuppofes to be the Spleen, and the 
Tancreas and Kidneys anfwer his Defeription ; and the 
Ureters were, as he fays, firm, firong, white, long, and 
opening into the ReSum. The Eye is faid to be exadfly 
like the Human Eye ; but is indeed, a perfetil Goofe- 
Eye for its Colour, and, I believe, for the reft of its 
Parts, as they are well deferibed by Mr. Ranhy : It was 
flatter than the Human Eye, as, I believe, all Birds 
are; and it had that fimple Look fo peculiar to the 
Goofe.
