Of the Stomach and (juts of the Mole ; -which feems 
to feed on Infers. As alfo of the Urchan, Squire], 
and Rat; which are chiefly Frugivorous. 
A <tAAole. 
nPHe Gulet of a MOLE, is not fatten'd to the End of 
the Stomach, as in the foregoing Animals, but to 
the middle. 
The Stomach fhaped fomev/hat like that of a Polecat, 
and is as big 5 being three inches long, an inch and * 
broad, and as deep: which in comparifon with the finall 
bulk of the Animal, is exceeding great: this Animal weigh¬ 
ing not much above three Ounces ; but an ordinary Pole¬ 
cat betwixt 20 and 30. 
The Guts, a yard and l long 5 longer than in the Carni¬ 
vorous kind. About * of an inch over every where. Near the 
Anus a little wider. So that they feem, fo far, to be but two. 
Yet taking in their Texture, they may be three. 
The Texture of the Firft (about ’ of a yard long) is plain 
and fimple, to the Eye, as in other Guts. Of the Second, 
extreme Curious 5 the Fibers of the Mufcular Membrane, 
making Undulations or Indentures , continued for the length 
of i of a yard, round about the Gut: very much refem- 
bling the Needle-wort^, commonly called Jrijh-fticb. But 
the Graver, though in other rcfpects he hath done tole¬ 
rably well,yet cometh ihort of the elegancy of this Work. 
Both thefe Guts are furniih’d with five or fix fmall 
Clutters of Glands $ each Clutter as big as a little Spangle. 
The Reffum , of a plain Texture, as the Firft. And with¬ 
out any confpicuous Glands. Half a i of a yard long, and 
where wideft, ? inch over. 
Here are none of the Bags defcribed in the Weefle, tec. 
Nor any Caecum nor Colon.
