Bartbolwe took notice of two as the mott confpicuous, 
and calls them the fpleen. Dan. Major mentions 4 or 5. 
and faith they arefo like the fubftanceof the fpleen, ut 
wider entur tot idem fplenes ejje \ but prefently after adds, 
ipje Lien quidem pecn liar is ac difimclus tn propria fede 
quoque comparuit, fed ex multis fimilibits globulis veluti 
compact us ; if that by this he means any part different 
from the former globules, his Animal was different from 
ours, for we could obferve no fuch thing. But as the 
KJdneys here confifted not of one entire fiibftance, but of 
abundance of diftind Glands, fb like wife the Spleen which 
is a conglomerated Glandule, had its various Portions 
diftind and more feparated ; fo that as it may be faid 
to have three hundred Kidneys, fb likewife ten or more 
Spleens. (£) Rondeletius obferves that in Dolphins, 
Lien in recent natis m Agnus pro corporis rat ione r in adult is 
parvus & niger. 
Thefe Globules or Spleens were not fattened, as Major 
hints, to the ftomach, although placed near it ; but to the 
Omentum ; as alfo was the t Pancreas , ; which at its Bafis f Tab. r. 
was appended likewife to the Duodenum , where its viz ' 6 ' H ' 
11 Duff us entered and empty ed it felf a little below the || ibUJ. 
Pylorus , and not into the third ftomach, as Mr. Ray 
afferts. 
The Colour of the Pancreas was whitifh, as in other 
Animals. A.t its bafts ’twas thick, and thinner towards 
the edges, where it feems orbicular or roundifh. It was 
about 2 Inches and \ in diameter. One fide was Hat, the 
other protuberant. The duel us Pancreaticus was pretty # 
large. Major faith, that the. Pancreas he obferved, was 
longurn valde & exporrtclum. But Barth dine deferibesit 
to be triquetrum.
