kill’d, which weighed 51 Pounds, fb that the whole 
Sheep weighed above 190 Pounds. 
I cauled a Piece of the Fat, that grew about the Kid- 
neys of the laid Sheep, to be brought to me, imagining 
that its fat Particles would be of a coarfer Grain than 
thole of ordinary Sheep ; for I have obferved feveral 
times, that the bigger an Ox was, the larger were the 
fat Particles thereof; and fince not one Man in a 
thouland has any Knowledge of the Contexture of thelc 
fat Particles, for we find that there are not any two 
of one and the fame Figure, they being comprelled by 
other Particles with which they are furrounded, as 
I have frequently taken notice, I have cauled Ibme 
few of thefe fat Particles to be drawn here, as may be 
feem in Fig. i. between A, B, C, D. 
Now when we meet with one of thefe little Bundles 
of fat Particles, as has frequently occurr’d to us, in 
which the fat Particles were four times thisThicknels ; 
1 imagine, that liich fat Particles cannot be produced 
out of one Tingle adipofe VelTel, but that out of liich a 
VelTel leveral Imall Sprigs ilTue forth, and out of each 
of thofe linall Sprigs proceed others Hill Imaller, and 
that out of thele Particles one larger fat Particle is 
formed like a Bunch of Grapes. 
Now I cut ofF with a Razor the Fat in leveral Places 
of a greater Piece, as thin as I could, laying the thin 
Pieces upon feveral Glals Plates, and put them upon a 
Coal-Fire, lb as to caufe them to melt ; and being 
melted, immediately viewed them with a Magnifying- 
Glafs, when I oblerved the Skins, or membranous 
Coats, of the fat Globules lying among the melted 
Particles, and in the faid melted Particles there was 
nothing to be perceived but a limpid Matter furroun- 
ded with Imall Air-Bubbles ; but when the Fat was con- 
gealed, we could obferve but very little of the Mem- 
S % branes,
