Of the Stomachs and (juts of Six Carnivorous 
Quadrupeds ; fc. The Weejle , Fitcbet , Polecat , C at. 
Dog and Fox* 
I Am not ignorant of what many Learned and Inquifi- 
tive Men, both at home and abroad, efpecially in this 
laft Century , have performed in the Anatomy of Ani¬ 
mals. After all whom', if it be demanded, what is left for 
me to do? I Anfwcr in the words of Seneca, (a) Multum WEp* ft -^ 4 <

I ihall omit moft of what is already noted by Anatomifts 5 
and princially fpeak of thofe things, which have hitherto 
been unobferv’d. 
A Weejle. 
The Gulet of a Weejle (which from the Ears to the fa¬ 
ting on of the Tail was i o inches) about five inches long, 
i in Diametre, equally wide, and thin. Enters the Stomach 
at the left End. 
The Stomach about three inches long; proportionably, 
more than a Dogs. An inch in Diametre at the upper Ori¬ 
fice ; at the nether, * ; having a flexure towards its Con¬ 
junction with the Guts: fhaped like to the body of a pair 
of Bag-Pipes. Thin, and plain, or without Folds. Which 
feemsto be the property of the Stomachs of moft Rapaci¬ 
ous Quadrupeds. 
The Guts thin, and plain, or with little ftore of Glands, 
efpecially of fuch as in moft Carnivorous Animals are con- 
fpicuous. About a yard in length, and i an inch in Dia¬ 
metre ; without any confiderable contraction, difference of 
Size, Texture or Subftance from the Stomach to the Anus. 
No Colon. No Caecum. So that it feems to be all but One 
jingle Gut. Contrary to what is feen in any other Quadru¬ 
ped, I have opened. 
At the Anus, a Couple of Bags grow to the Gut; one
