An Vrcban. 
The Guletofan URCHAN enters the Stomach towards 
the middle, as in a Mole. Somewhat (mail, not ? of an inch 
over. 
The Stomach not fo large as in the Mole, yet bigger than 
in Carnivorous Animals 3 as than that of a Weejle ,although 
the Body of an Vrcban of the fame age be no bigger, as is 
plain, when the Skins of both are taken off Tis alfo of a 
rounder fhape. 
The Guts, for fubftance, feem to be but One. But from 
the difference of fhape, may be accounted Four. The Firft, 
or Craffum, a yard and I th long 5 and near 1 an inch over, 
where wideft. It hath feveral, about 12 obfervable Con¬ 
tractions ; fome of them an inch or two long, fome more, 
and fomclefs: which, as to their length, is peculiar to this 
Animal. 
The Second, or Gracile, is about * of a yard long 3 I of an 
inch over, and of an equal fize throughout. 
The Third, or Amplijfimum, y' h of a yard long ; and 
above 3 of an inch over, where wideft. 
The Recluvi, about as long 5 and above f an inch over. 
So the length of all the Guts, is Two yards and an inch or 
two: much longer, than in the Carnivorous kind. 
The Third and Laft, are fprinkled with an innumerable 
company of extream (mail Glands, fcarce difcermble w lth- 
out a Glafs 3 through which, they fhewas big as little Pins
