Phocaena, or the Anatomy of a forpef r, j j 
* rf i ' , Above the flermm was placed the * Thymus, which was 
Tig. 2 . c. a large Conglomerated Glandule. Weoblerved likewife 
the Glandule Ma.xilla.res , Glandule Thyroide £ and ionic 
others. At the root of the tongue there were leveral 
Tub. i. frnall II foramina's which we luppoled to be the Ofiia of 
ig. 3 . aa. v a tory Ducht-s* s ; W e could probe them with a brittle. 
But where the ductus falivalis of the Maxillary Gland was 
inferted, either our inadvertency or w'ant of leifure made 
us neglebt to examine. 
The Riff us of the Mouth is but finall, yet the paflage 
into the Gula is pretty large and open. The Teeth are io 
placed that thole of one Jaw are received into the di- 
ftancesof the other. There a re twenty four of each fide 
either Maxilla , ninety fix in all. They are but final I, and all 
of the fame form, lomewhat acute. Wherefore Qj) Jon- 
flon is miftaken who laith, they have dentes cbtufos Ho- 
minis molaribus fimiles. 1 hele teeth are lomewhat move- 
able as is oblerved by Dan. Mayor, fince they are not 
fattened in diitinft lockets or Cells as is ufual in other 
Animals, but only by a ftrong membrane or Cartilage, 
there being one common furrow in each Jaw into which 
the Extreams of all of them are received : Thele teeth 
are lb final 1 and fhort that they leem unfit either for ma- 
ftication or fight, but only to detain their Prey till fuch 
time as they can conveniently fwallow it whole, (r) Rcn- 
deletius does oblerve that in fillies that do fuck, the teeth 
are at fir ft loft and covered, that they might not injure the 
Breaft. But Nature here does leem farther provident, 
in that juft before it has left a Ipace void of teeth, and 
the neighbouring teeth that are next it are allb fhoiter 
than the reft.
