The SCELETON of a Man. Wherein the num¬ 
ber of Bones (about two hundred and fifty) together 
with their dimensions,figures, and articulations are alleafily 
obfervable. Given by Thomas Povey Efquire. 
The HiStory of the Bones, as finished, is well perform’d 
by moll Anatomills. But the manner, arrd order of their 
beginning and perfection, hath been given us, fo far as I 
know, by the diligent Obfervations of Kirckringius [a) O) Kirck-

6f all Humane Bones indifferently,as well as of the Skull, Iu ° U ' 
arc prepared , Spirit as fimplicior , Spiritus oleofus , Oleum

The SCELETON of a Woman ; of equal height 
with the former. By comparing thefe two together, it 
may be noted, That the Os Ilium is larger and more out¬ 
ward in the Female Sceleton, than in the Male 5 fc. for the 
more eafie Labour, as Bartholine and others have alfo 
observed by the like companion. I add, That the fame 
Bone is alfo broader by 1 an Inch in the Female Sceleton, 
than in the Male •’ fc. for the better fuftentation of the 
Fwtus in the. Womb. Again, That the Os Sacrum is half 
an Inch longer in the Female: both for the forementioned 
reafon, and alfo the better proportion of the Parts. On 
the contrary* That the Vertebra, especially of the Loyns , 
are much broader, thicker, and Stronger in the Male Scele¬ 
ton, than in the Female 5 being hereby better fitted for the 
bearing of burthens. And, that as in the Male Sceleton 
there arc 32 Teeth, asisufual, and in the Female but 28 5 
So the nether Chap in the Male Sceleton is half an Inch 
broader than in the Female, as being made to accom¬ 
modate a bigger Mufcule for the motion of thofe 
Teeth,
