bottom or rime of the Pudendum, having a protuberant 
body lying over its Orifice, which Dan, Major calls the 
t Clitoris, which is made up of ftrong fibres almoft Carti- 1 »• 
laginecius. 
This leads me to the Examination of the Organs of Ge- 
neration in this Animal, which no lefs than the other 
parts did extremely imitate thole of Quadrupeds ; and 
even in the whole difle&ion I could eafilier imagine I 
was cutting up a Dog, a Swine, a Calf or any other ter- 
reftrial Brute, than an inhabitant of the watery Ele- 
ment. 
Our fubjeft was a Female ; and here we fhall take no- 
tice of the Vafa praparantia, Ovaria , Tubi Fallopiani, the 
'Uterus, the Pudendum and Vbera. I fhall begin with the 
H Uterus, which was about five inches in length, and had \\Tab. &. 
two large * Cornua as in multiparous Animals, each 
about four inches long. The Cornua were fattened to the 
Peritoneum, and had membranous f AD fattened to the f rr, 
fame alio. All along the infide of the Cornua we ob- 
ferved to run a Manipulus of II mufcular fibres, which II KR& 
expanding themfelves at length into two originations, 
were inferred into the Peritoneum at the fides a little be- 
low the Diaphragme. Arifing allb from the Ovaria and 
extreams of the Tubi Fallopiani , there were other * fibres * gjg 
that inferred themfelves likewife into the Peritoneum. 
Both thefe fibres may ferve to regulate the motion of 
thefe Parts, either for the conveighing the Eggs from the 
Ovarium to the Tubus, or the excluding the frtus from 
the Cornua into the Uterus. 
Having opened the Uterus I could eafily obferve a di- 
ftinftion of a Vagina, an Os Uteri internum , and fundus. 
The Vagina was pretty large, hadfeveral Ruga or Plica >, 
but towards the fundus thefe Plica crols- wayes were lb 
"very large and over-folding that they feemed almoft 
wholly to occlude the Pafiage, or at leaft to render it 
very difficult to probe, and made a very ftrict Oflium. 
This part in the infide had ftrD or fbra longitudinales.
