Parexcvhyml was of a pale Rc.1 verv Solid, and watered within with fiore
of
Sroritie ; which ma Ie us to take theem rather for the Kidneys than Tecli-
cles: And that which Itrengthcned and confirmed this Opinion, was a Cavi-
ty each of ticm had in its middle, according to tieir lengtth, formed of
a very
hard Mem'Dranc, which mighlt pafs for thc PeC is of the Kidney.  Malpighi-
gs has obferved t'le like p lfl-ages in the Kidney's of Birds, which yet
Harvey
faith are Solid, a4 ivithozit any Cavity.
   'lne  teus hiad a paffage which came out at the Anw.  This Paffage or
Neck of the 7Jterw was placed on thefe Flclhy Parts, which we tlhough t to
be the Kidneys, and under thll extremity of the Inteftine as in Birds, and
wholly contrary to what is utiiat in other Animals, where the InteJline is
up-
on the Os Sacrum, and the Bladder above the Neck of the lterms. This Tite-
rta was as in Beafis compoL{d of two Horns, which came out of its Neck,
and extended tilce Incles and a half in length, and returned to the fame
place, making a.) it were two AnfrCs or Handles WeiCn they were drawn from
within the reioii of the Ilia, where they were folded up. Thley were not
above a Line broad, and in Ieveral places 1els, -where they contraded them-
felves, making as it weere knots: But wve found no Eggs neither in their
Ca-
vity, nor in tle annexed Memibranes, called tie Ozv.irtum.
   Tfle generality of all tlhee Parts, zvi. tlhe liver, Veentricle, and Intefines,
were uplheld and fiulpended by a ftrong Membrane or Ligament , which
like the Mediaflinmm, deleended from tile Region of the Cartilago Xiphoides
to
the lower part of the Belly. There were alfo 6fich like Membranes, which
from thcL fame Cartilage were extended on the right and left fide, which
were
that wlhich Ifirvey takes for the Diaphragnme in Birds, and which Fabriciw
de-
nys to be a Diaphragme, becaufe that they are not Mufculous. And indeed
thefe Membranes were trani arent, having no flelhy fubflance, they were
only double, and joyned to leveral others differently figured, as it appeared
when having blowed into tile Afpera Arteria, both the great Vacuities on
the
right and left fide of the Bowels, which hung in the middle, were fuddainly
filled by the fwelling of thofe Membranes, which were not discerned before
it wvas blown; and this fwvelling did not only fill there Cavities, but it
did
thruff out on both- fides forne produaions retenmbling the Bladder of a Carp;
fome about the length and bignefs of ones Finger, others much lef;, and from
the great ones proceeded other letter Produdions. In the middle of thefe
two
great heaps of different produaions of Bladders, which reprefented the right
and left Lungs, there likewife arofe one fingle Bladder, which feemed to
fup-
ply the place of the little Lobe, which in a great many Animals is found
in
-the middle of the Breaft) Th tthe , Cavity cf th e Mediafinum. Thefe Mem-
branes thus extended by Air were White, and fomewhat tranfparent, and ap-
peared very curious ; but they were ftrengthened by Fibres, inter-woven
like Nets.
  When we ceafed to blow, all thefe Membranes falling down and lying
upon one another, caufed all thefe Bladders to difappear, which indeed are
not hing elfe but the ProceJfJs of the Lungs.
  (Gefner faith, that ofthe Intrails of a Camelion, the Lun s ony arc vijibzle.
But AriJlotle has more truly obferved, that Quadrupeds which lAy Eggs, have
Lungs amoji innjifble if thley are not blown into to fwell them. Indeed,
whatever appeared in the place where the Langs ought to be was, before it
