Part I. Of Quadruped V. 
/Ws: notwithftanding the Tradition of his moving the 
upper Jaw. ° 
The Teeth are about threefcore, thirty in each Jaw. 
Ail of them Claviculares , or Peg-Teeth, not much unlike 
the Tusks of a MaftifF; and fcarce bigger: notwithftand- 
ing that Arijiotle calls them great Teeth, o<JWms (j-iyl'h'es (o)C a ) Hift-An. 
And yet, whereas a Dog hath but four Tusks, or exerted 1,2 ,c ‘ I0, 
Teeth,in this Animal being all of that figure,their fmallnefs 
with refpcct to fo great a Head, is fully compenfated by 
their number. For the moft part, thofe that are new 
and not worn, are toothed, like a fmall Saw, on their 
fides. 
The Vertebra , in all, fixty. Thofe of the Neck,are feven 
as in a Man. The firft whereof, in a Man called the At¬ 
las hath a Procejfus in the figure of the Epiglottis. The 
other fix, have each one Procejfus or Prominent Part, which 
is long, broad, fharp, and upright: and two that are tranf 
verfe, and fhort ; to which arejoyned, by a Cartilage, fo 
many Ojfa mucronata, one ihorter than another from the 
Head toward the Trunk. But the Vertebra , one leffer than 
another, from the Trunk towards the Head. 
The Vertebra of the Back, nineteen 5 that is, three fevens 
running one into another. Each of which hath three 
Prominent Parts, which are fharp, broad, and long; one 
perpendicular, and two that are tranfverfe, or at ^ right 
angles. 
The Ribs 24, twelve on each fide. Seven of which, have 
each of them double Cartilages , that is, one after another, 
appendent to them. 
The fore part of die Sternum is plainly bony. The hin¬ 
der part, cartilaginous; fhaped like the Os Hyoides in a 
, J b , £ tree of the Tail, are 34 5 or (if you add the 
a otic Trunk as common to both) 3 5 ; that is feven 
times feven. The firft fourteen, have each three Prominent 
iarts, like thole of the Vertebra in the Back. The next 
nineteen, have only an upright Procejfus. The laft of all, 
bath none. The firft 14, are double, in number to thofe 
°u 1 t " c next a re equal to thofe of the Back; 
the laft anfwers to the Head. To all the Vertebra of 
the Tail, except the laft, are alfo fubjoyned fo many
