Of Animals. 
This firft may be called Mufculare: being in proportion, 
thicker or more carneous than the Guts of any Quadruped 1 
have open’d. 
It hath about 28 or 30 Contractions ; fome an inch,others 
two or three inches diltant one from another. I have not 
feen a quarter fo many in any other Animal. It may be 
fubdivided into four. 
The Fir ft, i.e. from the Stomach to the place where the 
Gut is confiderably amplify’d,about a i of a yard 3 and fome- 
what more than i of an inch, over. 
The Second, i. e. to the place where more confpicuoufly 
contracted, about I a yard5 and in its wideft place, above * 
an inch, over. 
The Third, i. e. to the next greater dilatation, a yard 
and * th j and * ths of an inch,over 3 near the fame width with 
that of the firft. 
The Fourth, about I a yard and * th 5 and 5 inch,over. So 
that two flender, and two ample ones are reciprocally 
joyn’d. 
This Inteft. Mufculare, is furnifhed with feveral Clufters 
of Glands, fix or feven in number: each Clufter about i of 
an inch long 5 and the laft above three inches. This efpe- 
cially, as in the Pole-Cat, may be called PANCREAS IN- 
TESTINALE. 
The Next Gut (in the place of the Rettum) may be 
called Membranaceum, in diftmction from the former 3 be¬ 
ing far more perfpicuous and thin. About I a yard long 3 and 
where wideft, an inch and Lover. So that its hollow is more 
than four times as great as of any part of the Inteft. Muf¬ 
culare 3 and eight or ten times as great as of the (mail 
parts. And doth therefore contain far more than all that 
Gut. 
To the undermoft part of this Gut, about an inch and i 
before the Anus, is faf ton’d the end of a flender Mufcle 3 the 
other extremity, to one of the Vertebrae of the Loins. 
This Gut is furnifhed with feveral large Glands, not Hand¬ 
ing in Clufters, but fingly, as in a Fox or a Dog prefently to 
be defcrib’d 3 but not fo big. 
The upper End of this Gut where it joyns to the Mufcu- 
lar, for the length of ‘ of an inch,is partly Conick and partly 
Helick3 being, as it were, the beginning of a Caecum.
