troublefbme ; I fhall therefore take notice only of the 
moft remarkable things : as whereas the Cranium was 
five inches in breadth, ’twas only three in length. ’Twas 
protuberant much above the f Roftrum. Tire futures f at ». 
chiefly were thole they call HarmonU, by a Ample line, 
but the Lambdoidea was lomewhat indented. 
By realbn of the different bones that compoled the 
Cranium the futures likewife were differently placed. 
But I oblerved that where I might expect the futura -Coro- 
nalis there was a large eminency of the * bones, and juft 
in the middle of the forehead over the fijlula there was a 
large Protuberancy jutting out. Other particularities I 
might take notice of here as alio in the Palate: but pafi 
fingthemafide, within the Cranium we found an os trian- 
gulare , but lomewhat different from that in Dogs, having 
at its extremity a rifing up like a Crifta Ga/ii. From this 
bone the length of the upper part of the Cranium anlwer- 
ing to the finus Longitudinalis , there was a pretty deep 
Protuberancy, that as the os triangular e leparated the C'e- 
rebrum and Cerebellum , this did the two Hemilpheres of 
the Brain. I oblerved no Crijla Galli here, and the os 
Cribriforme was not perforated, as is uliial. The Ante- 
rior Procefles of the fella Turcica were wanting, though 
there were lomewhat of the Pofterior ; but there were 
not thole foramina's from it as in a mans, and other 
Brutes ; though it had an Infundibulum and Gtaxdula 
Pituitaria. That part of the Ear-bone or os Petrofum 
which I laid relembled a * Cochlea from its winding, * fai. 2. 
does on the infide here appear very well, and that paflage 
for the auditory nerve is very fair. The Cavity for this 
bone is large, but a great part of it filled with 
Mulcles. 
Dan. Major has given a figure of the Cranium , but in 
feme particulars he does not liifficiently exprels the life ; 
but that which he gives of part of the lower Maxilla is 
more exa£t. It was a If thin but lb! id bone ; its Lamina on II 2 . 
the infide was not continued home to the Articulation, 
but leaving a. large fpace, that led into a confidexable Ca-
