Fig. 1. Of the Palate of the upper part of the Beak of a Bustard.

• a. THe upper region of the Beak of a Bustard is hooked in its Origen, and hath on each side a sharp edge, which in pointed beaked Fowls, serveth instead of Teeth.
• b b b. On the beginning of the inside are lodged three membranous ridges, the largest being in the midst. A little lower beginneth the Palate in a point, and endeth much broader. The Palate is com∣posed of seven rows of Processes (Three on each side, and One in the middle) and are (as I imagine) as well as the other Processes of the Palate and Tongue of Birds, so many sa∣lival Glands.
• c c c c. The outward are Comb-like Processes, conjoyned in the Origen of the Palate.
• d d d d. The two inward Processes of each side are pointed.
• e e e e. † f f. The middle are finely carved, consisting of many joynted Processes, and terminated into the mid∣dle of the transverse Comb-like Processes † seated a little above the Aperture of the Palate, conveying Breath into the Mouth.
• † g g. h h. The Apertures † of the Palate, are parted by an intersepiment running between them †.
• † ii. k k. A little below the Apertures of the Palate, are placed two Comb-like Processes † fringing a Red glandulous substance, or rather a Systeme of many minute Glands † furnished with many excretory Ducts.

Fig. 2. Of the lower part of the Beak and Tongue of a Bustard.

• a a. The lower part of the Beak of a Bustard, hath a more straight Origen, and more blunt edges, then the upper.
• b b. On each side of the Tongue is seated a glandulous substance, dressed with miliary Glands.
• c c. This glandulous Body on each side near the termination of the Tongue, is fringed in its margent with many white pointed Processes.
• d d. The Tongue near its Origen is endued with a pyramidal Figure.
• e. The Tongue in its termination is garnished with a Semi-circular rowe of Comb-like Processes.
• f f. The Fissure, or entrance of the Aspera arteria, is fringed on each side with a rowe of Comb-like Processes.
• g g g g. About the termination of the Aperture, leading into the Aspera Arteria, are seated three or four rowes of pointed Processes.

Fig. 3. The Palate of a Turkey.

• a a. The Margent seated on each side of the upper Beak, passeth in right lines, without any Saw-like Processes, as in a Wildgoose.
• b b. The Bones enclosing the Muscular and Glandulous part of the inside of the Mouth.
• c c. The Cavities relating to the inside of the upper Beak.
• d d. The Margent seated on each side of the Palate, terminates into Comb-like Processes, fringing their Extremities.
• e e. Divers ranks of white Comb-like Processes, resembling the Branches of Trees.
• θ θ Many irregular minute Protuberancies, or Comb-like Processes placed in the beginning of the Pa∣late.
• f f. The first rank of white Comb-like Processes running after the manner of an Arch.
• g g. Divers irregular Comb-like Process, seated between the first and lowest rank.
• h h. The lower rows of the Processes passing after the manner of Arches.
• i. The first rank of transverse Comb-like Processes, placed near the lower Arches.
• k k. The second rowe of transverse Comb-like Processes running in a right Line,
• l. The termination of the Cavity of the Nostrils, fringed with Comb-like Processes.
• m m. The minute irregular Processes.
• n n. Divers little Glands besetting the inferior part of the Palate, fringed in their Origen with Comb-like Processes.
• o o. Three straight rows of Comb-like Processes.

Fig. 4. The Tongue of a Turkey.

• a a. The Margents of the lower Beak.
• b. The Origen of the Tongue made into an acute Cone.
• c. The body of the Tongue consisting of many minute Glands.
• d. A round glandlous Protuberance, seated near the root of the Tongue.
• e e. The Arched rows of white Comb-like Processes fringing the Root of the Tongue.
• f f. Two Cartilages enclosing the glandulous substance, adjoyning to the Aspera arteria.
• g g. The glandulous Compage seated on each side of the entrance into the Larynx.
• h h. The plain white glandulous Margents (immuring the entrance of the Aspera arteria) fringed in the bottom with Comb-like Processes.
• i. The entrance into the Aspera arteria.
• k k. Two white ranks of transverse Comb-like Processes, fringing the termination of the glandulous substance, encompassing the entrance of the Windpipe.
• l l. The Aspera arteria, consisting of many annular Cartilages, interspersed with many thin Mem∣branes.
