This figure sheweth the Sceleton of the bones & gristles of a woman, that it may appeare all her bones are in proportion lesser than the bones of a man. But in this figure onely those parts are marked with letters wherein a woman differeth from a man in her bones and gristles.

A, The sagittall suture descending into the nose, & dividing the fore head bone, which is sometimes found in women, very rarely in men, but alwayes in Infants.

BB, the Chest somewhat depressed before, because of the Paps.

CC, the coller bones not so much crooked as in men, nor intorted so much upward.

D, the brest-bone perforated some∣times with a hole much like the forme of a heart, through which veines do run outward, from the mammary veines unto the paps.

E, the gristles of the ribs, which in women are somewhat bony, be∣cause of the weight of the Dugs.

F, a part of the backe reflected, or bent backward above the loynes.

GG, the compasse of the hanch-bones running more outward, for the wombe to rest upon, when a woman is with child.

HH, the lower processes of the share-bones, bearing outward that the cavity marked with K, might be the larger.

I, the anterior commissure or con∣junction of the share-bones fil∣led up with a thicke gristle, that in the birth they might better yeeld somewhat for Natures necessity.

K, A great and large cavity circumscribed by the bones of the coxendix and the Holy-bone. L, The Rumpe or Coccyx, curved backeward to give way in the time of the birth. M, the thigh bones by reason of the largenesse of the foresaid cavity, have a greater distance betwixt them above, whence also it is that womens thighes are thicker than mens.

conteining are, the Os frontis, or Forehead bone, the Nowle-bone, the two bones of the Synciput, the two stony bones, the Wedgebone, and the Sive-like or spongy-bone. But the conteined are sixe shut up in the cavity of the Eares, the Anvile, Hammer and stirrop.

For the bones of the face, there are six within or about the Orbe of the Eye, that * 1.2 is, on each side three; two bones of the Nose, two lesser Iaw bones, and two bigger, which are alwayes in beasts seene distinguished by a manifest difference, but it is so rare in men, that I have not found it as yet; therefore these onely are distinguished by manifest difference, two which conteine all the upper teeth, the two inner of the palate, the two of the lower Iaw in children; And last of all the Os Cristae, whence the middle gristle or partition of the nose arise.

The two and thirty teeth are equally distributed in the upper and lower Iawes; and of these there be eight shearers, foure fanges, or Dog-teeth, and twenty Grinders. * 1.3

And there is another bone at the roote of the tongue called Os Hyoides, alwayes * 1.4 composed of three bones, sometimes of foure.

Now follow the bones of the Spine, or Back-bone, which are just foure and thirty, * 1.5 that is, seven of the necke, twelve of the Chest, five of the loines, fix of the holy-bone; and foure of the rumpe. Besides there are two bones of the throate, or Collar bones. * 1.6

The Ribbes are twenty foure, that is, fourteene true and ten bastard ribs. The bones of the Sternon or Breast-bone most frequently three, other whiles seven, as sometimes in young bodyes.

Hence comming to the Armes there are reckoned 62, beginning with the shoulder-blade; as there are two shoulder-blades; two Arme bones; foure bones of the Cubite; * 1.7 that is, two Ell-bones and two Wands; sixteene of the Wrest, eight of the Afterwrest, and thirty of the fingers: into this number also come the Sesamoidea, or seedbones, of which some are internall, & these alwayes twelve at the least, although somtimes there may be more found, a great part of which rather merite the name of Gristles, than bones; there are others externall if we beleeve Sylvius.

Now remaine the bones of the Leg, which (if we reckon the Ossa Ilium on each side three, as in yong bodies, it is fit they should) they are sixty six, besides the seed-bones, * 1.8 that is to say, two Haunch-bones, two share bones, two Huckle-bones, two thigh-bones, two Whirlbones of the knees, foure of the leg, that is two leg-bones, and two shin-bones. Fourteen of the Instep, as two heele, two pasterne, two boat-like, two Die, & six namelesse bones. Ten of the Pedium or back of the foote, that is, five in each foot; & twenty eight of the Toes: & as many seed-bones in the feet, as the hands enjoy. But I have thought good to adde these figures for the better understanding of what hath beene spoken hereof.
