And If molt humbly conceive, that the innumerable Ramulets of Arteries and Veins have their progrefs, not in direét, but crooked lines, to give a‘ check totbe over-hally {treams of Blood, that they may receive the greater impregnation of Air, and that the Chyme may be more petfeétly mixed with Blood, as being long entertained in the many Meanders of Veffels, wherein the different Liquors of Blood and Chyme may be broken into Atomes, by repeated alternate aéts of Infpiration and Expiration, in order to a more perfect mixture tending to allimilation. The Compage of the l ungs of 21 Snake, is framed of numerous Velleles of Air, endutd with a membranous fublltanceg and the outward coat of the LllilgS is very remarkable for many Veffels 1- palling crofswife in crooked lines, from one frde to the other 3 and the Lungs are adorned with The {pongv Lung! of VXA pets, Tor- tcil'c:.
