adhered fo little to the others, that it was detached 
from them in Pieces. It is very probable, that the 
coloured Facula detached from the Madder y that is, 
the Part of the Root which gives the Tindure, had 
obftrucfed the fmall VefTels and Glands of the Sto- 
mach, which might poflibly occajfion a Sphacelus 
therein. However that be, a certain Quantity of 
this FaculUy being accumulated there, retarded Di- 
geftion, and thofe Animals died hedlic, though with 
a full Stomach. 
The Eyes of thefe Animals, while alive, feemed 
as red as thofe of fome Parrots. I thought, after 
having differed them, that no other Part was co- 
loured but the Capfula of the Cryftalline ; But Mon- 
fieur Morandy to whom I had fent a Turkey fed with 
the Madder, obferved that the vitreous Capfula was 
of a crimfon Red, though neither the vitreous Hu- 
mour nor the Cryftalline were dyed : The Eye of this 
Turkey being larger than thofe of the Pigeons, the 
Hand that difteded it much more dexterous than 
mine, and the Anatomift more knowing, I willingly 
come into his Opinion. This then is the only foft 
Part, that is really tinged in thefe Animals 3 for I do 
not look on thofe Parts as fuch, which appear fo only 
by their immediate Conrad with thofe Parts that are 
charged with the Colour : Monfieur Morand having, 
in the Notes he fent me of his Obfervations, con- 
firmed all that I had before obferved, there ought to 
remain no Doubt of what I have here related. 
I come to the Examination of the Skeletons, and 
of all the coloured olTeous Parts of my Pigeons j in 
order to compare them with the Skeletons of the 
Two Pigeons fed with Wheat-meal alone without
