Wlien I had feparated the Skin of the Roof of the 
Mouth of a fecond Gxes Head, and had cut the fame 
thro into very thin Parts, I obferved abundance of lit- 
tle Holes, and a great many more Parts that were ftopt, 
in which. the long^ pointed Parts -remain’d kicking ; 
whereupon I cut the fame acrofs, and obferved, that the 
aforefaid pointed Parts flood fo thick by one another, 
that there was not a Hairs breadth fpace between 
them. 
Having obferved that the Roof or Palate of the faid 
Head,' was clofely united to the Bone that lay under it, 
I examined the external part' of that Bone, and, with 
wonder difeover’d fo many Pores or Holes in it, that 
the Hairs of ones Head do not fland fo near one another 
as the faid Pores did 5 however I perceived that a great 
many of them were fo clofely iJiut, that one cou’d dif- 
Gover no opening in them, and the biggeft of thofe Pores, 
which, were but* few in number, were as large as the 
Diameter of the Hairs of one’s Head, and in one of them^ 
there alfo feem’d to be a Blood Veflel. 
I mufl not omit that I was defirous to fcarch into the 
Inward Parts of the Noftrils of an Oxe or Cow, as well 
as I was able 5 in doing which I faw that each fide of the 
Mouth (which one might call the. Lips) was furnifhed 
with a great many pointed Parts, that were very thick 
in the inward Skin, and being round ran into a very 
ftender Point ; thefe Particles feemed to me at firfl very 
flrange, being unable to Guefs for v/hat end they were 
framed. 
I likewife made my Obfer various upon the Skin of fe- 
veral of the faid Parts, which were^very flrongly uni- 
ted to. the Parts that lay in it ; and found that one of 
thofe Parts that lay within, did confifl of a great many 
pointed Particles, which were much thicker^nd longer 
than thofe that I had difeover’d in the inward Parts of 
the.Tongue of an Oxe or Hog.
