Thefe (harp Particles are Bones, that are bent or crook- 
ed a little, and the outward parts of them (land towards 
the inmoft part of the Mouth, and the nearer they come 
to the thickeft part of the Tongue, where thofe Particles 
are to be found that are reprelented by Fig. r. A, B, C, 
the fmaller they grow, and thefe Bony Particles have al- 
fo a thin Skin over them. 
I alfo caufed a Hog- Butcher to bring me at fevcral 
times divers Tongues of Hogs, and cut off the protube- 
rant Particles which are found at the top of the Throat, 
and I caufed one of thofe fmall Particles to be drawn by 
the Painter, whi 'h appear’d as large to him, as ’tis here 
reprefented in Fig. 6 . between A and B. 
I placed feveral of thefe protuberant Particles before a 
Microfeope, andobferv’d upon one of the Tongues other 
iharp pointed Particles (ticking out of the f orementioned

pointed part is at F, where it pierces thro’ the uppermoft 
Skin, and between E and G you may obferve four Icfler 
fharp Particles of the fame Nature. 
Fig. 8 . H, I, K, L, M, reprefents likewife one of the 
foremention’d .protuberant Particles-of a Hogs Tongue, 
in which between K and L you may obferve (landing 
out three (harp- pointed Parts, and at M a fonr-th 5 and 
’t was - moreover all cover’d with the foremention’d Tu, 
. mors or Roundneffes. 
' Furthermore, after feveral Difledions of the faid Par- 
ticles, I made a (hi ft to feparaie the uppermoft Skin of 
the faid Particles, and viewing divers of them with a 
Miciofcope, I cou’d perceive that each of ’em were of a 
different Figure 5 but all agreeing in this, that they were 
arm’d with an unconceivable Number of painted Parti-
