Phocxna, or the Anatomy of a Tor pe ft* 1 1 
*Tab. i. ingof 5 Bags. The * firft which was the large#, was 
Fig. 6 . a. about ten Inches in length, and 3 in breadth, refembling a 
f long Pouch or Urinal. Towards the upper f part it em~ 
II c- ptiesitfelf into the fecond II Ventricle which is about . 6 
inches in length, and 2 and \ in breadth. This at the 
* * fide near the fundus by a long defcending narrow pat 
t e e. fag e is emptied into the t third, which is about an Inch 
broad ; which fending one part downwards, is again re- 
flected upwards as reprefentedin Fig. 6. Tab. 1. 
The Stomachs are made up of feveral Tunkles ; for in 
the firf, befides the Membrana communis we eafily difco- 
vered a Mufcu'lar Tunicle under it, and in the infide a 
ftrong white Nervous one, which very much refembled 
the inward Pellicle of the Gizard of Fowls. It had 
abundance of fmall ruga or rather Furrows or lines; but 
at the orifice, where it empties it felf into the fecond veil-* 
tricle, the Flits or folds were very large and numerous, 
that rendered the Paffage fb ftrait, that nothing but a flu^ 
id Chymus could be tranfinitted. 
The inward T^/r/e of the fecond ftomach was a plea- 
fant fight, having large rug£ length- wayes, from the 
tides of which at certain fmall diftances iffued mutual 
Protuberances of the fame fubftanee. The Colour of 
the whole was a florid red, very much refembling the 
branches of red Coral. By fcraping with a knife I could 
exprefs a great deal of a Chymous fubftanee out of it, 
and pretty eafily feparate this tunicle from the next. It 
was about A of an Inch thick, and feemed to be glandu- 
lous 0 The Paffage out of this ventricle into the third 
was very ftrait, having a fort of Rugous Annular valve, 
and a Paffage about an inch in length before it empties it 
felf into the third ventricle. 
The Tunicles of the third ventricle were much the fame - 
with thofe of the Inteftines, and in it nothing is more 
iTab. i. remarkable than the II Pylorus or Paffage into th q Due- 
denum , the Tunicle there being fo contracted and 
purled in, that it leaves a Paffage only about the bignefs- 
of the hollow of a Goofe-quill, though outwardly \h
