And there is another way proper to the upper Mandible (by which fair and {harp Humours are tranlinitted ) which is a large Cavity, feared under the lower region of the Eye, in a Bone of the upper Jaw, which bath a Protuberance wifely framed by Nature, for the prelervation of the Eye: This Cavern is very large, and fornewhat ofa tha‘rical Figure; in the lower region of this hollowed Bone, may be difcerned many Minute Prominencies, in which the Roots of the Teeth are repofetl, and the Cells, in which the Teeth are faitned, are engraven in the lower margent of this Bone. This Cavity is often found empty ( and fometimes full of a Mucous Matter ) into which Humours deitil out of the 01' Et/mzoz'der.
