The Pytamy- dal Figure of He Heart of a Porpefs holdeth great Analogy with that of Man and OgadrupedS, and is beautified with a pyramidal Figure, beginning lthCatL in a Bafe, and terminating into 3 Cone; it is endued with two Auricies The Aurieles one feated in the Right, and the other in the Left Side, and are furnifh ed ofthe Heart beret with tanks of Pi- htes, inter- with many lairs of flefhy Fibres, interfeéting each other, and interfperfed fperfed with i'evcral Fi- gures. The Fibres of the (ubante cf the Heatttied to each other. The Right and Left Ven- (riClC ador- ned with ilclhy Coiamns with many Ame of divers Figures, interceding the numerous Fibres. The fubi'tance of this Heart is made Up of many ranks of Carnous Fibres tied to each other by the mediation of Ligaments, Membranes, and Fibrou; Branches,to preferve them from flarting out of their natural Situatio n, in their confiant, and fometimes violent Contractions; the Fibres befetring the Ambient parts, are more frnall, and grow greater and greater, as they more and more approach the inward Receifes of the Heart. This F ifh alfo is like in its Heart to other more fleihy . perfeé‘t in reference to the Right and Left Ventricles, which have many Animals flefliy Co: lumns, adorned witha pyramidal Figure, whofe Bafes are feared toward the rricufpidal and mitral Valves, and their points toward the Cone of the Heart. Out of the tops of the Columns do fprout many Ligaments which areinferred into the tricufpidal and initral Valves, encompafiing the,Orifices of the Vena Cam, and pulmonary Vein.

TheHeatr of a Thornbutk, an! itsallodgmentr The Extream of the Vcm: Caz/a in the Heart of this Fifh, is encircl ed with tricufpidal Valves, in the Right Ventricle, and the Orifice of the pulmonary Vein feated in the Left, is immured with mitral Valves in the Left Venrriele. The Orifices of the pulmonary Artery and Aorta, are encloiE lunary Valves, which are Concave, Membranous Compages,d with femibcfet with many Semi-circular and Right Fibres. The Hearts of Fifh, ( except thofe of a Cetaceous kind ) are lodged in a {mall Apartiment, a little below the Mouth, not far from the Gills - This Chamber of the Heart in a Thornback, Skaite, Fireflair, and other, cartilaginous Fiih is immured in its upper Region (ifconfidered as it fwimeth) with a Cartilaginous or Bony Cicling, enwrapped above and below with a White Niembrane, to fecure the Heart from on ( which would intercept the Motion of the Blood)a violent 'com refliin fwaliowig of whole Fiih.

The Heartof a Salmon, is adorned with a triangular Figure ( which is The Left £3522?" YEg'f'ide "cum", found in moft Fiih) and hath only one Auricie (into which the Venn Cow ISaImon. is implanted ) 1, in which, being opened, many greater and lefs Branches 1' tr.

This Ventricle is guarded with a Tendon 1- feared in the infide, near the T", Bafe of the Heart, into which the carnous Fibres are inferred. The Trunk of the Aorta, ( atifing out of the Ball: of the Heart) being opened, two Semi-lunary Valves 1- may be feen, which intercept the Mkretrograde Motion of the Blood, out of the Aorta into the Ventricle. This Trunk the of Aorta is inwardly Embroidered with various Branches 1- m. 0f Hefhy Fibres ( which render the inward furface full of unevenneiles, and much alike the Left Auricle of the Heart ) impelling the Blood out of the Trunk of the Aorta, into the Arterial Branches leading into the Gills.
