Parts or Diviiions, in the uppermoft whereof 
all the aforementioned Inteftines are con«-

which I take to be fixed to the Bell or out¬ 
ward Cafe) feem of no other Service than to 
give the Creature Power of Contraction and 
Extenfion.

brought together in a clofe and curious Or¬

whofe Bafe and Top are of an Herfe-Jhoe 
Form 1 but they prefent fometimes. a very 
different Appearance, by feparating into four 
Parts, and ranging themfelves in Inch Sort 
as to reprefent four feparate Plumes of Fea-. 
thers.—Seefig. 22.
