Of Birds. 
About two feet and I long. Where it joyns with the Great¬ 
er, hands the end of the DuEius Inteftinalis, accurately de¬ 
ferred (a) by Dr. Walter Needham. 
The Greater, where wideft ' an inch. The ReEdum, fome- 
what more. The Caeca near eight inches long : at the fur¬ 
ther end, above ? of an inch over 5 but where they open 
into the Reclum, no thicker than the great Hiring of a Bafe- 
Viol. 
’Tis proper to the Gallinaceous kind , to have a great Gi¬ 
zard. That of a good big Turkey , neat eight Ounces Troy. 
Whereas that of a Japan Peacockjs, not above two: yet the 
Body about half as big as that of the Turkey. 
Not only all the Gallinaceous kind ; but the Duck., and, I 
fuppofe, all of that kind, have two very long Caeca. 
Ofo Tame Pigeon. 
The Gulet of a Tame PIGEON, near the Throat, very 
wide; almoft: an inch and I over. 
The Crop is above three inches broad 5 above two, long, 
and an inch and I deep. Not fo diftindt from the Gulet \ 
as in the Gallinaceous kind 3 this and the Gulet running 
one into another in a direft Line. In the Belly of it, are 
few vifible Glands: but the Neck thence down to the 
Echinus , is curioufly Lined with fix or feven Glandulous 
Laces. 
The Crop of a Carrier-Pigeon, is curioufly ihap’d 5 as it 
were Treble-Belly’d: the two outmoft or fide-Belhes, open¬ 
ing into that in the middle. The bottom and Neck where¬ 
of, are lined with feveral Glandulous Laces, as that of the 
Tame Pigeon. 
The Crop ot the Cropper-Dove, is almoft of the fame 
Figure. But the Gulet of a wonderful extent ; when blown 
up lightly, above nine inches in the girth. 
The Echinus large, and fo the Glands therein 3 for the 
fight of which, I have reprefented it infide outward. Divid¬ 
ed, as ufually, from the Gizard by a Mufcular Neck, 
The Gizard rounder than of moft other Birds. The Mnf- 
cules very thick and high in the middle, and flater at the 
edges. The Deduclor Hands at the top of it, and the Reduftor 
at the bottom.
