1 6 The Stomachs and (juts. 
Of all the Quadrupeds I have open’d, peculiar to this 
Animal, a Horje , and a Coney ( perhaps alfo an Afs and a 
Hare) to have a true Colon ; if that of a Man be thefhnd- 
ard for the Definition of it. 
The Laid, or Stercoraceum, is alfo I of a yard long. Scarce 
any where more than dan inch over 5 and towards the 
Anus, not fo much. Whereas in moil Quadrupeds , ’tis there 
wideft. f 
Here are no Bags, as above deferibed in the Carnivo¬ 
rous Animals.

Sheep and a Calf. 
<0 A Sheep. 
T^He Gulet of a SHEEP (three years old, and weighing 
120 pounds Haverdupoife) about an inch and '■> over : 
which with refpect to the Punch is but fmall. Compofed 
of feveral Organical Parts: which becaufe they are here, as 
well as in fomc other larger Animals, more confpicucus, I 
ihall feme what more particularly deferibe them. 
They are all of them, by Anatomifts, ufually, but impro¬ 
perly called Coats : for the inermoft, are the chief Body of 
the Gulet : So that ’tis the fame, as to call the Wood of a 
hollow Plant, one of its Coats. ’Tis therefore compofed of 
Five Membranes 5 Three in the middle,lined with a Fourth, 
and faced with a Fifth. 
TheUtmoft, and the Inmoft, are both Cuticular. The 
Inmoft, or Glandulata , exceeding white, and very fri¬ 
able : anfwerable to the outward Rind of the Root of a 
Plant. 
The next to it, is the Nervous. Which here,and in fome 
other Voraceous Animals, is fo very thick, that it may 
more properly be called the CORPVS NERVOSVM. Com¬ 
pofed of Fibers, partly running by the length of the Gulet , 
and in part tranverjly to the two Mufcular Membranes.
