EXPERIMENT II.

ANother Viper being shut up in Vacuo, after she had mov'd a little up and down, be∣gan to froth at the Mouth; soon after we left pumping, her Body and Neck swell'd prodigi∣ously, and a Blister rose on her Back, 1 ½ hour she appear'd to be alive, but no longer. Her Neck and a great part of her Throat seem'd transpa∣rent; Her Mouth was open and distorted; The Epiglottis with the Rimula Laryngis was almost thrust to the end of the Neather Chap. The black Tongue arising from beneath the Epiglottis, raught beyond it, but seem'd dead. The Mouth was black within. Upon a Re-admission of Air, in 23 hours, the Mouth was shut, tho' it open'd again. Scorching or pinching the Tail caus'd Mo∣tion in the Body of it.
