6 Of Animah. 
or three inches long, and I an inch broad. Every Gland, as 
big as a Turner-Seed. The Ccecum befprinkled with Flat 
Glands, the breadth of a Marfhmallow-Seed or little Spangle. 
And fo the Rectum, efpecially towards the Anus 5 but here 
big. 
In the centre of thefe Flat Glands, the Orifice, or if you 
will the Anus of every Gland is very confpicuous: by 
which the Gland fpeweth out a certain Mucus or Pituita ; as 
by comprefling the Gut may be eafily feen. 
So that although the Glands of the Stomach and Guts, 
efpecially in Men and Quadrupeds, feern to he behind, or 
under the inner Membrane: yet the Mouths of them all, 
do open into the Hollow of the Stomach and Guts. The 
Pituita which is always found very copious in both, not 
being half of it, the fpittle, or bred of the Aliment, as is ge¬ 
nerally conceiv’d 5 but fpewed out of thefe Glands. 
At the Anus, are two Bags of ftinking Liquor, as in the 
aforefaid Animals. 
A Fox. 
The Gulct, Stomach and Guts of a FOX, (i a year old, 
and 3 yard from Head to Tail) are much like to thofe of a 
Dog. But with fome differences. The Gulet, in proportion, 
fomewhat larger. The Stomach deeper. 
ThefirlfGut, or the Crajfum, farlhorter, not above f a 
foot. The fecond, or the Tenue, fomewhat wider. The 
Caecum , much larger 5 near < of a foot long. It lies not 
flrait out, but is wound up almoft fpirally. Where it joyn- 
eth to the other Guts, I an inch over 5 at the other End, 
near an inch. 
The Guts furnidied with feveral Clufters of Glands, as in 
a Dog, about 14 in number. That next the Caecum four 
inches long, and above I an inch broad. Before every large 
Cluffer is a little Contraction in the Gut. In the Caecum and 
Rectum much larger than in the Bitch. 
I fuppofe it is proper to all other Oflivorous Animals, for 
the Rectum to be furnifh’d with fuch Glands. 
Juft upon the Anus lie two Bags of ftinking Liquor, as in 
the Animals above-faid.
