Phocaena, or the Anatomy of a Porpefs . 27 
Between its Plica I did obferve a pretty Quantity of a 
mucous fubftance contained, as alfo in them and in part 
of the Vagina feveral (mall Glands about the bignefs of a 
Pin’s head. Thefe probably may ferve for the fepara- 
ting this mucus, which I can’t imagine to be any thing of a 
C clliqmmmtum Genitalt , which Major fee tried at firft to 
fufpedt ; but rather of the fame nature with that found 
in Cows and other Animals. 
j §9m At the extreams of the Cornua were the t Tubi Fallopi- 
ani pretty large, when blown up, running in an undu- 
lating line the length of the Ovarium, and then reflected 
and terminating in a large Oflium , to which as alfo to the 
extreams of the Ovarium thofe mufcular fibres before de- 
fcribed did run, being firft colligated into a final! node or 
Plexus , and thence expanding themfelves. 
This I (iippofe is what Major means by his pervious 
paffage from the Tefticles to the Uterus , though he had 
? P. p. forgot to what part of the Uterus it did go. The * Ova- 
ria or tefticles in our (ubjeffc were a little more than an 
Inch in length, about the bignefs of a Goofe-quill, in Co- 
lour (bmewhat whitifh, its furface finooth. Major ob- 
ferved it tuberous and unequal. Bartholine in one that 
had a fcetus in the left Cornu , obferved the left tefticle 
tumid and as big as a Wall-nut, but the right was longer 
and flenderer. Opening the Ovaria I could obferve the 
rudiments of many Eggs, but very fmall. 
II s s s. The Vafa Prazparantia and II Sanguinary Veffels that 
came to thefe parts, were more numerous and larger 
than in any Animal I have hitherto differed, but run- 
ning in a greater plenty to the Cornua and Ovaria than to 
the Uterus its felf. They had frequent Anaftomofes one 
with another ; and being fo very large and thick let, affor- 
ded a very pleafant fight ; Nature feeming here mighty 
fbllicitous and provident for the nourifhment, as well as 
forming the fcetus ; it being a Viviparous Animal ; and in 
one that was pregnant with young that Bartholine differ- 
ed, he obferved a Placenta , a Chorion , Ammon and Allantois , 
a funiculus Umbiltcalis, in the foetus the Vena and Arlene
