http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702182299

Autograph note refuting May's description of a "serpent" found in the left ventricle of John Pennant's heart, explaining it as a simple occurence of arterial blood coagulated in the heart after death. Hunter also remarks that Harvey had published on the circulation of the blood in 1628, "yet in 1637 Dr May is not become a prosylite."
