round, and broad, joyning himself largely circular to
the Intestinum Rectum with Transverse Fibres much thicker a∣bove
than below, where he adheres so firmly to the Cutis, that
it is scarce separable: and hence by some Anatomists it is called
Cuticulosus.

Excrements involuntarily do come down, and for the service
they do in this case, they are called Constrictores
