in Calceolarims Mufeeum. That m Kir cher’s China Illuflrata 
faulty as to the Snout and Feet. That of Jolnifton ab- 
furd. Almoft every where worfe defcrib’d. That he is 
a two-horn d Animal , fays Aldrovandus, all agree , except 
Simeon Sethi, who faith he hath but one. Neither of which 
is true. The Defcnption hkewife given by Scaliger, and 
out of him by Chiocco in Calceolarias’ s Mufaeum is fiilfe, and 
very defective. The beft I find is amongft the German 
Tranfatitions. To which I would have refer’d the Rea¬ 
der, but that comparing it with That I had drawn up before 
I met with it, I fee fome differences. 
From hisNofe end to his Tail, a yard and ' a foot long. 
His Head above v a foot. His Necks of a yard. His Fore¬ 
head three inches broad. His Nofe end fcarce f of an inch, 
being very lharp, like that of a Grey-Hound. His Ears 
like a Coneys , about three inches long, and erect. As alfo 
his Tail or Scut, which exceeds not two inches. His fore- 
Leg a foot and two inches long, taking in Foot and Thigh. 
Near an inch over : the Foot deeply cloven 5 with two 
fore-Hoofs, an inch and ? long, each * of an inch over ; and 
two Heels, almoft as big, and therefore confpicuous. His 
hinder feet are here wanting. 
His hair on his Head and Legs about ; inch long, and 
rateably fmall. On his Belly an inch and ' long, and fome- 
what thicker. On his Back and Buttocks tjiree inches long: 
thicker in proportion, than in any other Animal, except 
perhaps fome of the Deer kind, fc. three or four times as 
thick as Hogs Bnftles: confuting of brown and white porti¬ 
ons alternately from the Root to the top.On the Head and 
Legs, brown; On the Belly and under the Skut,whitifh. As 
it were fnzled, efpecially on the Back and Belly,by a kind of 
undulation. Softer than in molt Animals, and exceeding 
light and rare. For being fplit, and view’d with a Glafs, 
they appear to be made tip of little Bladders, like thofe in 
the Plume or Stalk of a Quill: fo that it is a thing betwixt 
a common Hair and a Quill. On each fide his lower 
Chap, almoft under the corners of his mouth, there is a 
peculiar Tuft (about ? of an inch long) of fhort, thick and 
hard hairs, or rather Briftles; of equal length, as in a ferub- 
ing-Brufh. 
The Musk Bladder or Bag is about three inches long,
