Fig, 9. N, O, P, Q,, R, fli:ws you one of thofe Pro- 
minent Parcs, as ’twas deveited of its Skin, and as well 
as the Painter cou‘d dd'eribe it ^ and' alrho‘ the Points 
that ftick out feem to be very blunt, yet I fancy if one 
were to fee them in their true State and Nature, they 
would be very (harp^ and rhereafon why they don’t ap- 
pear fo now, is that the Points are probably broken off,' ’ 
and remain fticking in the Skin. 
A did like wife view the Tongues of Hogs in thofe 
Parts where there were no Protuberances, even to the .• 
end of the Tongue ^ and with great wonder always dif- 
coverda mighty Number of very (lender long Particles, s 
which always run into a (harp Point at the end, juft as 
any Needles do appear to the naked Eye.

which being dryed, appeared fo (landing out as is deferi-

as f conceive, by rcafon that the Parrs, in which the faid < 
(harp-pointed Particles, are as ’twere riveted or faftned, 
lying lengthways, do not equally (brink in, in the dry- 
ing. 
After all this I took a veryfharp Razor, and therewith ; 
cut off from the Tongue a few Slices as thin as I con’d . 
po(Tible, and placed theni before the Microfcopes,in order 
todifcover how the aforementioffd pointed Particles lay 
in the Skin.
