Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, From Their Commencement, in 1665, to the Year 1800, Vol. 3: Abridged, With Notes and Biographic Illustrations; From 1683 to 1694 So many accounts of the Ottoman empire are extant, that the reprinting of this paper is deemed wholly unnecessary. A Letter from M. Lister, M.D. &c. in Answer to one of Mr. H. Oldenburg's, desiring an Explanation of a Paragraph, concerning the Use of the Intestinum Caecum, Published in the Philosophical Transactions, N 95, Anno l673: as follows: The use of the Intestinum Caecum, subservient to that of the Colon and Rectum, manifest in such Animals where Nature intends a certain and determinate Figure to the Excrements. N 155, p.455. I did not think of explaining my sense of the use of the caecum, until I had the leisure and opportunity of purposely examining the intestines of most kinds of animals. But because I am much mistaken by the person who raised the scruples you sent me, I shall be forced to tell you, what I presume may prove as near the truth as any one of the many conjectures extant in authors, about the unknown use of this part. I understand by determinate figure; 1. The excrements divided into many small parts of a like shape, such as sheep, deer, conies, hares, rats, mice, horses, caterpillars, some snails, &c. do naturally void. 2. In a greater latitude I oppose figured excrements to liquid: thus the dung of pigeons, geese, and men, cats, dogs, &c. may be said to be figured. Now the caecum in my opinion is subservient in some measure to the figuration of both, but most manifest in the first kind.
