Of the Vafcular Syftetn. 
We are to take notice, that as thefe Children 
had bat one abdominal Cavity between them, fo 
it contained, in Appearance, only one Liver of a 
confiderable Size, and an irregular Form 5 but this 
confided of two in Reality preternaturally joined, as 
there were two Gall-Bladders. The umbilical Vein 
is inferted into this, pretty nearly in the ufuai man- 
ner, and afterwards this Canal is divided into two 
Branches, which carry the Blood into the Vena cava 
of each Child ; whence it falls naturally into the right 
Auricles of their Hearts. 
The Heart of the larger Child is but fmall, has a 
bifid Apex , and from the Divifion has a Vcftige of 
the Septum , on both the upper and under Sides 5 
which forms a Sulcus in a longitudinal Direction, 
from between the Apices to the Bajis ; from whence 
arifes * Pericardium which extends itfelf over each 
Side from the Sulcus , and fo forms a feparate Cap- 
ful a oyer each Ventricle of this Heart, and may 
therefore be call’d a double Pericardium. 
The afeending VcfTels are diftributed according to 
the Standard of Nature ; but the defending Trunk 
of the Vena cava rides over that of the Aorta , above 
the going off of the Emulgents, and finks back 
again behind the external Iliac Artery , before it is 
itfelf divided into Iliac Veins , descending naturally 
to the lower Extremities, as do the Arteries from 
thence alfo. 
The Kidneys, urinary and uterine Parts were in 
a natural State j and the Lungs appeared well, and 
feem’d as if this Child had breathed.
