( 24 ) and increaes by the protruion of globuls. But two or three days agoe I oberved the Hair of an Elk, and found it wholly to conit out of conjoyned globuls, which by my Microcope appear'd o manifetly to mee, as if they could be handled. And therefore having o clearly een thoe globuls, I aure my elf, that the growth and increment of Hair is made (as I aid jut now) by the protrusion and driving on of globuls.

This large room being, as to its fore-part, filled about half full with blood, does then propel its blood backward, and the Air forward again; and this is continued with great quicknes, whilt the Lowe is drawing the blood; ex cept, that at times he tops a little, as if he were tired, and recollects her elf; (a motion like that, it eems, which is in the mouth of a ucking Infant:) From thence the blood paeth in a fine tream into the midt of her head, that being alo a large round place, where it hath the ame motion.
