Ph oe^ena, or the Anatomy of a Torpefs r. 37 
it is united again into one, making in the skin a kind 
of f (emilunar flit or foramen . At the lower Orifice as 
alfo above the Cranium it had (everal ftrong and fair 
mufcles, which doubtlefs ferved for the regulating its 
motions in (pouting out the water. In the influe of the 
fifiula below the feptum there were abundance of holes or 
PapilU which I took for the Orifices of Glands, and 
Mr. Ray does obferve that if you do prels them, there 
would ftartout a certain glutinous liquor : Which 
may (erve for the lubricating the infides of th sfftula, as 
alfo defending them from the acrimony of the (alt water, 
and may be likewife a recrement caft off' from the bloud 
as is the (not in other Animals. Over the two hollows of 
the fifhda juft above the Cranium there lye two * protu- 
berating bodies like an Epiglottis or Valves, which as 
Mr. Ray does like wife obferve, ferve to flop the Pipe that 
no water gets in there without the fifhes will- Near this 
there are placed four Bags or two pair of them. The 
firft || pair which is the largeft,lyes upon the middle of the 
Rofimm or (nout, it hath at firft one common* foramen, 
then fubdivides into two cells, each of which will contain 
a large Nutmeg; they are covered on the infide with a 
black skin, and (eem to be made up of a griftly fubftance, 
formed into Ieveral Plica or folds lengthways, fcmething 
refembling the os fpongiofim in (ome other Animals, and 
poifibly may have fbmething of the fame u(e, at lead: may 
(erve for the forming the noife they make againft ftorms 
and bad weather. The tw r o other or f fecond pair are placed 
higher and more to the fides of the Rojlrum ; their cavi- 
ty is not (o large, but in it is contained a confiderable 
II Glandule about thebignelsof a Filbird, which may fe- 
mme a liquor (erving to (ome of the u(es before de~ 
icribed. By having this membrane over it, it in part re- 
fembled the Tonfils. Mr. Ray mentioneth a third pair 
tending towards the brain, having a long but narrow 
paffage, for the ufe as he conjectured of linelling ; but 
opening the Brain, neither of us could find either Olfac- 
tory Nerves or Proceffus Mamillares. This laft pair X 
did;
