Flefh of the Tongue in that part of it, where the point- 
ed Particles are rooted in, and obferved oftentimes, that 
when 1 came to a pointed Particle, juft where it was 
planted in the Flefti, it did confift of 7 or 8 Particles of 
Ficfti, and fometimes more, that infinuated themfelves 
between the parts of the Fiefh of the Tongue 5 and the 
long Fiefh Particles of the Tongue (which did as ’twere 
furround the pointed Particles that are rooted in the 
Fle(h) appear’d to be Analagous to thofe perpendicular 
Vcifels in Wood, which do alfo, as it were, incompafs the 
Horizontal Veflels,. of which 1 have formerly given you 
an account. 
Now when I obferved that the pointed Parts defcribed 
by E, F, G, in F/g, 14. did conlift of feveral long Flcfti 
Particles, I began to confider, whether each of thofe long 
Flefti Particles, did not end in fuch Points as in Fsg, ii. 
are reprefeiired by D, E, F. . 
Fig. I H, I, K, L, M, reprefents a very fmall piece 
of the Tongue of a Hog, fo as it appeal’d through the 
Microfcope, in which you may obferve five particular 
Particles which had been cut through acrofs 5 in fome 
little Slices I have obferved feven fuch roundifh Fiefh 
Particles : The long Particles, which are extended from 
L to K, and from M to I or H, and which encompafs the 
forementiond Particles, are the Flefti parts of the 
Tongue. 
1 did moreover cut through lengthways fome of thefe 
pointed Particles, defcribed in Fig. 14. by E, F, G, juft at 
the place where they aretaftned into the Fiefh, in order, 
if it were poftible, to difeover how deep thofe Particles 
were, rooted into the litrle Mufcles of the Fiefh, but I 
could profecute my Delign but a very little way. 
I caufed the Painter to draw one of thofe very fmall 
Particles, fo as it appeared through the Microfcope, and 
as it is reprefented by Fig.i 6 . N, O, P, Q. 1 ^ j and where- 
as in the foregoing Fig. t$. the Fiefh Particles are de-
