IX. An Excretory Dutt from the Glandula Re- 
nalis. Extracled from the Giornale di Lite- 
rati of Venice, for the Tear 1719. 
T H E celebrated Anatomift, Signor Anton Marla 
Valfalva , already known by his noble Treatife 
De Aure hum ana, has lately made a confidcrable Dif- 
covery. He has found rhe excretory Duds of the 
Glandula Renales , or, Renes Succenturiate which 
difcharge themfelves into the Parts of Generation ^ that 
is to fay, into the Epididymides in Men, and in:o 
the Ovaria in Women. He has read a learned Dilfer- 
tation relating to this Difcovery, before the Academy 
of Sciences in Bologna , in which he undertakes to prove, 
thatthofe Renes Juccenturiati , are to be reckon’d a- 
mong the principal Organs of Generation. He is foon 
to publilh it in Print, but the Publication of the Cuts 
belonging to it, will be retarded, becaufe the engraving 
of them, cannot be finifh’d in fo (hort a time. 
IV e have Jince learn' d the dijagreeable News of 
the 'Death of this very learned and inquiftive Ana - 
tom if ^ but, as his Reputation , and known Accuracy 
in differing , leaves no room to doubt of the reality 
of the abovemention' d Difcovery , we hope it will be 
profecuted by other curious Per fins.
