let tberadty they were fo ihrunk in together, that one 
coL’d hardiy diicover any parts of them, but when I 
moillned tliein again, they refumcd their Ibrmer Fi- 
gure ; whereby i was fully convinc’d, tliat they were 
no Particles of Fat : And between the faid parts there 
ran a great number of Vellels, but I did not take theiii' 
to be Flood Vdfels; and italfo feemed to me that each 
Glandule was furrounded with a Membrane. 
'Fhe uppermoh Skin was cover’d with a very thin 
Membrane, which was not very clofely united to the 
laid Skin ; and uiis Membrane is in my Opinion that 
wliich by the hot or lharp Moillure is eafily feparated 
from the Skin that lies under it. 
The fecond Skin (in which the abovemention’d 
Valves wered I have olten feparated from that rough 
part that lies under it, and which one might allb call ‘a 
Skin, and whicii in fome Places was about fix times as 
thick as the uppermoft Skin ; and I have as often obfer- 
ved, that the Skin which I feparated, did not only al- 
ways remain failen'd to the Valves, but likewife feveral 
times part of the VelTels, to which the -Valves wete uni- 
ted, remain’d faften’dto it, which Veifels run into the’ 
Figure of a Tap or Funnel, that *is to fay, narrower

Now-that we may have the better Idea of the Roof 
of that part of the Palate of an Oxe or Cow, where it 
is cut olf next to the Throat, I caufed a fmall Particle 
of the Skin or Membrane of the fame, to be drawn by 
my Painter, as it appear’d to him thro’ a MiQ'O- 
Icope. ' ;

which are feldom fo clofe together as they are here
