fmali Pair of ScifTars, but I found it fo clofe, that I 
could not enter it, therefore I cut a piece off from the 
Womb, out of which ran a clear Water, and within it 
lay the Fcettis with all its Coverings. I fpread this 
upon the backfide of a China Tea-Dilh, and finding 
that it Hill contained more Water, I made a finall In- 
cifion to drain it, and to let it dry, that I might ob- 
lerve it the better. I could plainly fee the Vertebra 
of the Neck and Back, as alio the Joints of its Ihort 
Xail ; I thought likewife that I faw the Eyes. But 
when it was quite dry, I could not obferve its Back« 
bone fo well as before, when it was as yet moift, tho' 
the Painter, who made the Draught, and had lliarper 
and younger Eyes than mine, law the Bones of the 
Back very diftindly. My Defign in drying it was to 
cut it in fmali Slices, that then I might the better ob- 
ferve the inner Parts, for it was fo extremely loft and 
tender when mo ill, that with the leall Touch its Parts 
would be dilbrder’d and confounded. Therefore I cut 
this Foetus into fifteen Slices, and obferv’d them with 
a Microfcope, but could not be very certain what I 
law. I thought that I law the Intellines, as allb the 
Bladder ; and coming to the Bread, I fancied that I 
law the Heart ; but I law and obferv’d, with a great 
deal of Plealure, that two Blood- Vellels lay near 
together in the Brain, and how they were fpread into 
Branches. I had this Foetus drawn as it lay- in its Te- 
guments. See Fig. i. A B being the Foetus^ and 
A C D E I K and A F G H L K, the Membranes 
wherewith it was involved, in the manner as I had 
fpread and dried them, wherein the Blood- VelTels, as 
much as polTible, are delineated. Now fome Perlbns 
might expedl, that I Ihould have look’d for the Extre- 
raities of the Blood- VelTels : but no, the Blood- Vellels 
have no end, as I have frequently fiid. Befidcs, they
