This part is much more considerable in the generality of quadrupeds, than in man. But fishes and other animals that want lungs similar to ours, have no neck whatsoever. Birds, in general, have the neck longer than any other kind of animals ; those of them, which have short claws, have also short necks ; those, on the contrary, that have them long, are found to have the neck in proportion. " In men, there is a lump upon the wind-pipe, formed by the thyroid cartilage, which is not to be seen in w...omen ; an Arabian fable says, that this is a part of the original apple, that has stuck in the man's throat by the way, but that the woman swallowed her part of it down. " The human breast is outwardly formed in a very different manner from that of other animals. It is larger in proportion to the size ot the body ; and none but man, and such animals as make use of their fore-feet as hands, such as monkeys, bats, and squirrels, and such quadrupeds as climb trees, are found to have those bones called the clavicles, or, as we usually term them, the collar bones.
