The Winpipe ofa Caf melion of 38!?" A Camelion of Egypt hath a very {hort Wind-pipe, made up of many femicircular Cartilages, like thofe of other Animals, and hath a double E iglottir, clofing the think, feared in the top of the Afpem Arterirz, which is fingle in moii Animals, and Mufcular in Tigers. H E Wind-pipe of a Swan is adorned with an admirable Fabrick, and being an affociate of the Gulet, pafltth all along the Neck, till it ariveth the Sternon, into whole Cap/uh: it infinuateth it Elf, with a crooked poliure, in which it is lodged as in a fafe Repofitory, and defcending to the bottom of this Cavity, it is refleéted upvvard, and creeping out through anarrow paliage of the Sternon, climbeth up to the middle of the Clavicle leaning upon the Tracked, as aprop when it bendeth toward the Thorax; and before it cometh to the Bteaii, and the Lungs contained in it, it feemeth to form a kind of Larynx with the 0; Hyoider, clothed with a broad Membrane; and is like a Mufical Pipe, as being more broad above and narrow below, and endued with a [mall Fiflure; under this Laryzzx, made after a manner with the O: Hyoialer, before the Afpcm Arreria entreth the Lungs, it is divided into Two Branches (not unlike to Bronchia of other Animals) which grow more narrow as they approach the Lungs, and differ from a humane Wind-pipe, which hath no Divaricat‘ion till it entreth into the fubfiance ofthe Lungs; {0 that this curious f‘trué‘ture of the Wind-pipe is highly advantageous for Refpiration, while the Swan endeavoureth to fupport it felf by fearching out Aliment in the bottom of Rivers, Lakes, and Ponds, wherein this large Bird Ptayeth a good fpacc of time, with Head and Neck immerfed into the {hallow water, and Feet turned upward toward the Sky, in which polture, all reception of Air is intercepted, but what it drawethout ofthe Capl'ula ofthe Sternon as a Cifiern ofBreath,wirh which it is maintained during the time of its Head and Neck are under water. The Tracked of a Crane maketh a direct progrefs to the Right Side of the the Sternon,into whofe Right Tube it is infinuated, which is endued with divers Circumvolurions, till it find a paEa 6 toward the Left Tube, while the The Tratbu of a Crane.

Crane pafl'eth through the Sternon, in various Meanders,by reafon the Sternon in this Bird is not endued with one fingle Cavity, as in 3 Swan (made for the long recourfe of the Tracked) but is wreathed in- to many Flexures, in which the Wind-pipe fporteth it {elf up and down in many circumvelutions,reiémbling the Gyres ofa moving Serpent, as Learned Bartboline hath given a molt ingenious account, Hifl. r 2.
