- β κ κ The Auricle of the Heart lying under the Heart.
- d d. The entrance of the bulbous Body, being divided from the rest of the Gulet.
- e e. The body of the Echinus being of a kind of Oval Figure, and encircled with Oval Glands.
- f. The short Neck of the Gulet, passing between the Echinus, and the entrance of the Gizard.
- g g g g g. The Semi-lunary Muscles fringing the Margents of the Gizard with Red.
- iiii. The fleshy Fibres of the Semi-circular Muscles, making their progress in Flexures long∣ways.
- k k k k. The tendinous Fibres sprouting out of the Semi-lunary Muscles in the manner of Rays.
- l l. The upper Tendons of the Muscles, being a union of tendinous Fibres, intersecting each other, and uniting in the middle of the Gizard, as in a Center.
- m m. The first transverse Muscle affixed to the entrance of the Stomach.
- n n. The long Fibres of this transverse Muscle, running from one extremity of the Muscle to the other, and being contracted gently, do protrude the Aliment into the Cavity of the Gizard, and being strongly contracted, do close the entrance of the Stomach, intercepting the pas∣sage of the Corn into the Gulet, in time of its grinding.
- o o. The Second transverse Muscle seated opposite to the other.
- p p. The long Semicircular Fibres of this Muscle, which being gently moved, do force the ground Aliment into the Origen of the Intestines; and being more briskly contracted, shut up the Pylorus, and keep the Aliment from passing out of the Stomach, till it is perfectly ground and concocted.
- q q. The Tendons consisting of united Fibres, propagated from the transverse Muscles, do creep under the first Tendons, and intersect them in oblique lines.
- r r. The Concave part of the Liver turned up.
- s. The termination of the Right Lobe of the Liver.
- t t. The Bladder of Gall, is of a Greenish colour, seated in the Concave part of the Liver.
- u u. The Left Lobe of the Liver being much shorter then the other.
- w. The termination of the Left Lobe of the Liver.
- x. The Spleen being of a triangular Figure, is fastned to the Gizard and Guts, by the mediation of diverse Membranes.
- y y. The beginning of the Intestines, wherein a short circumvolution is made.
- z. The Pancreas lodged in a Flexure belonging to the Origen of the Intestines.
Fig. 2. Of the Gizard of a Goose.
- a a a a. The Laminae, or fleshy Expansions of the lateral Muscle opened.
- b b b b. The numerous Laminae of the lateral Muscle, as they are in their natural situation, without any division by Art.
- c c. The Fibres running variously cross the Laminae, which being contracted, put the Laminae closer to each other, and move the Cartilages (to which the Laminae are fastned by tendinous Fi∣bres) up and down in several Positions.
- d d. The first transverse Muscle encircling the entrance into the Stomach.
- e e. The Fibres passing obliquely long-ways, from the beginning to the end of the Muscle.
- f f. The Second transverse Muscle of an Oval Figure, placed opposite to the other, and is be∣fet with many Fibres of a Semi-circular Figure.
- g g. The lower Tendon (appearing as the other) is taken off in the form of a St. Andrews Cross, and is made up of fruitful tendinous Fibres (coming from the lateral and transverse Muscles) uniting in a great broad common Tendon.
- γ γ γ γ. The Origens of the lower Tendon, derived from the lateral and transverse Muscles, ha∣ving Semi-circular tendinous Fibres.
- b. Part of the Bulbous Body.
- i. The Neck passing between the Echinus, and entrance into the Gizard.
- k. The Pylorus, or termination of the Stomach.
Fig. 3. Belonging to the Gizard of a Goose.
- a a a a. The Cartilaginous Plates of a kind of circular Figure.
- b b. The Fissures of the Scute or cartilaginous Plates.
- c c. The tendinous Fibres of the lateral Muscles fastned to the outward surface of the cartilaginous enclosures, seated in the inside of the Gizard.
- d d d. The Cavities of the Scuta, of Cartilaginous Plates.
- e e e e. The Semi-circular ridge, or prominence of the Scutum seated in the upper region of the right side of the Gizard.
- f f f f. The Semi-circular ridges of the Seutum, placed in the lower region of the left side of the Gizard.
- g g g g. The Cavities of the Cartilaginous Plates.
