A MALE HUMANE FOETUS. Given by Thomas Cox Esq; An Abortive of about the 4th Month. In length five inches. The Head, from the hinder part to the face, an Inch and ½. The Face, an Inch and ¼. The Back, from shoulder to shoulder, an Inch and ¾ broad. The Buttocks an Inch. The Arms and Thighs ½ Inch over. The Wrist and small of the Leg, ¼ of an Inch. The Navel-string ⅕ of an Inch; twisted like a Rope; and cut off five Inches long. The Eyes shut. But the Mouth open. It hath neither Nails, nor Hair. The Skin white and smooth, almost as in Children newly born. See Dr. W. Needham's curious Book de Fœtu Formato. (c)(c) And Hobokenus's Anatomia Secundinae Humanae.

The Phlegme, Oil, Spirit, Volatile, and fixed Salts, both of the Serous, and Grumous Parts of HUMANE BLOOD. Together with the Oil, Volatile, and fixed Salts, of that of an OX. Prepared, and given by Dr. Walter Needham. By whom also was read a Discourse before the Royal Society, in which, as I take it, the proportions between the said parts, with divers other Remarques were deliver'd. But I meet with no Register hereof. The different Proportions of the said parts, as they are observable in the several Viscera, I may have occasion else where to represent. I shall now only note, That the fixed Salts of Blood above mention'd, are three of them Grey, and all but weak. The fourth, viz. that of the serous part of an Oxes, although calcined to whiteness; yet is not so strong, as That of most Vegetables.
