Of Quadrupeds. 
on each fide. Each of them, fill’d, about the bignefs of a 
large Garden-Peas: containing a yellow, and thiclaih Li¬ 
quor, extraordinary/^//^, and having the peculiar fcent of 
the Animal in the mold intenfe degree. Over the Bags or 
Bladders , is fpread the Sphinlier-Mufcle ; which comprefling 
Them and the Anus both together, forceth them to a con¬ 
temporary evacution. 
I have not yet difleeted the Civet-Cat, butfuppofe, that 
thefe Bags are analogous to thofe that contain the Civet in 
that Animal. 
Thefe Bags, fo far as I have obferv’d, are proper to all 
Carnivorous Quadrupeds , and thofe only: as will further 
appear by the following Examples. 
A Fitcbet. 
A FITCHET, being of kin to the Weejle $ hath alfo a 
Stomach and Guts much alike. 
The Guts about a yard and two inches. At moft, but 
two. The firft, about two feet and i long; and * cht of an 
inch over, where wideft. Hath five or iix Necks or Con¬ 
tractions. And a little before moft of them, ftands a fmall 
C Infer of Glands , about as big as a Silver Half-petty. The 
fecond, is about \ a quarter of a yard long, and i an inch 
over where wideft. Very thin, plain, and without any 
Glands vifible to the bare Eye. 
On each fide the Anus, there is alfo a Bag of feet id Liquor, 
with the ftink of the Animal. * 
The Guts of thefe Two Animals, and I fuppofe like- 
wife of the Ferret , are the moft fimple, and plain, of all I 
have obferv’d in Quadrupeds. 
A Foie-Cat. 
The Gulet and Stomach of a POLE-CAT, are in fhape 
like thofe of a Weejle. But the Guts are different. 
They may be reckon’d, four. The firft, about * of a yard 
long ; t an inch over 5 very thin, and plain. 
The fecond, * of a yard in length 5 i of an inch over, and 
in fome places more. This Gut is Glandulous and very 
thick, in comparifon with the other, from end to end. The 
Glands
