quantity of Light was admitted, than by the other parts 5 * 
and I alfo imagined, that the Extream Parts of thofe Ca- 
vities had exceeding fmall Orifices in them. 
Now that we may the better conceive an Idea oi the 
forementioned protuberant Particles which are found in 
the thickeff part of the Tongue of an Oxe, I caufed the 
fame to be drawn juft as they they appear to the naked 
Eye, as you may fee in Fig. i. A, B, C, which Particles . 
are a little bigger than they were upon the Tongue, be- . ' 
caufe thofe were a little dried Up. 
Notwithftanding that I took* a great deal of pains to 
feparate the uppermoft Skin from the Parts that lay un- 
der, to the end that I might view thofe latter intire and , 
unbroken, yet I cou’d not bring it to bear any farther, 
than as it b reprefented here in F/g. 2. D, E, F, G, H, I, 
in which I cou d only difeover a few pointed Particles be- 
tween G, H, and I. 
Upon viewing with a Microfeope that fpace of the 
Tongue, whioh is between the Protuberances, I obferv’d, 
that\was all over cover’d with- a great number of ex- 
ceeding fmall rifing roundneffes, that were fo clofe to one . 
another, that you cou*d not put in two Hairs between 
them, as you fee in Fig. 3. K, L, M. 
Moreover I dripp’d off the Superficies of the Tongue 
with a (harp Knife, , and repeated the fame a fecond 
time^ and then difeover’d an unfpeakable Number of lit- 
tle Holes, fome of which feera’d to be fill’d, others were 
cut through length- ways. 
Fig. 4 *. N, O, P, a B., S, reprefents one of the afore- 
mentioned thin Slices, in wdu'ch we had difeover ’d divers* 
fmall Holes ^ the great Hole in the faid Figure at T, is 
the place where there was a little Protuberancy like thofe - 
In Fig. i. and which had been cur off. At P, Q andR, 
you may obferve the place where a much greater Protu-. 
berancy had ftood 5 and the daik little Strokes or Line§> 
between Q and R, are thofe Panicles which were cut
