Defcription of the internal parts of this monfter. 
I began the difledlon on the hind part ; the 
mufcles of the back were well formed. I found on- 
the right fide eight ribs, reckoning from below up- 
wards, and feven on the left. Immediately above 
thefe was an hydatide , in which lay the cervical 
nerves, deftined for the upper extremities. In this 
place alfo might be feen very imperfect rudiments of 
the fcapida and clavicle. 
On the right fide, and near to thofe rudiments, 
was a fort of thumb, eafily known to be the thumb 
of the right hand, whofe extremity projected be- 
yond the integuments three-fourths of its natural 
length. 
Above, and on the right fide of this hydatide , I 
difcovered another more confiderable, furrounded by 
a large bag, very fmooth on the infide, and fupported 
by fomething, which had the appearance of a be- 
ginning of maxillce. 
At the extremity of the fore part of this bag were 
two orifices, almofi: contiguous, acrofs a Jeptum , 
which led to another bag of a much fmaller lizc.
