A more common occurrence of this type is that in which there is fusion
of the two heads. Moreau speaks of a monster in Spain which was shown
from town to town. Its heads were fused; it had two mouths and two
noses; in each face an eye well conformed and placed above the nose;
there was a third eye in the middle of the forehead common to both
heads; the third eye was of primitive development and had two pupils.
Each face was well formed and had its own chin. Buffon mentions a cat,
the exact analogue of Moreau's case. Sutton speaks of a photograph sent
to Sir James Paget in 1856 by William Budd of Bristol. This portrays a
living child with a supernumerary head, which had mouth, nose, eyes,
and a brain of its own. The eyelids were abortive, and as there was no
orbital cavity the eyes stood out in the form of naked globes on the
forehead. When born, the corneas of both heads were transparent, but
then became opaque from exposure. The brain of the supernumerary head
was quite visible from without, and was covered by a membrane beginning
to slough. On the right side of the head was a rudimentary external
ear. The nurse said that when the child sucked some milk regurgitated
through the supernumerary mouth. The great physiologic interest in this
case lies in the fact that every movement and every act of the natural
face was simultaneously repeated by the supernumerary face in a
perfectly consensual manner, i.e., when the natural mouth sucked, the
second mouth sucked; when the natural face cried, yawned, or sneezed,
the second face did likewise; and the eyes of the two heads moved in
unison. The fate of the child is not known.

Home speaks of a child born in Bengal with a most peculiar fusion of
the head. The ordinary head was nearly perfect and of usual volume, but
fused with its vertex and reversed was a supernumerary head. Each head
had its own separate vessels and brain, and each an individual
sensibility, but if one had milk first the other had an abundance of
saliva in its mouth. It narrowly escaped being burned to death at
birth, as the midwife, greatly frightened by the monstrous appearance,
threw it into the fire to destroy it, from whence it was rescued,
although badly burned, the vicious conformation of the accessory head
being possibly due to the accident. At the age of four it was bitten by
a venomous serpent and, as a result, died. Its skull is in
