Upon this, Mr. Wyatt , firft Surgeon of the Ho- 
fpitah who is not billy ‘a very ingenious, but carefiil 
Praaitioner, ordered Two of the Dead to be opened 
forthwith; they were about Forty Years old.— rHe 
found monftrous 'Polypi in both their Hearts, and 
diredly had the Hearts carried to his own Houfe, and 
loon acquainted me with the whole Matter : We 
very carefully examined them. The Toly pi were 
very nearly of the Colour of the Buff formed on the 
Surface of highly. pleuritic„or rheumatic Blood, when 
quite cold, or rather whiter. They were v.aftly tough, 
and feemed to be formed of various Lamina very 
clofely conncded, though here-and-there . a bloody 
Vein, as it were, was interfperfed. They were not 
only firmly attached to the flefhly Column# of tire 
Heart, but were alfo funk and inferted ftrongly into 
the Intercolumnia , or Sulci-, and that even to the very 
Bottom of the Ventricules.— Thefe Roots, if we 
may fo call them, were of a whiter Colour than the 
Body of the Toly pus. 
One of thefe Tolypi (taken out of the Heart of 
Jeremy Mannings) weighed a full Ounce, not in- 
cluding its Ramifications in the Arteria Tulmonaris 
and the Cava, but as it was taken out of the Right 
Auricle and Ventricle ; for it was one continued 
"Mafs, and ftrongly adhered to both. 
The Toly pus taken out of the Left Ventricle of the 
fame Heart, was alfo very confiderablc, and rather 
more firm and compad than that of the Right, but 
of the very fame Colour, and firmly implanted into 
the Sides of the Ventricle quite down to the Macro 
Cordis. Its Branches were fhot a great Way into 
the Subclavian and Carotid Arteries but very little 
down
