ngle leg made by the fusion of two
legs. No patella was found and the knee was anchylosed. One of the feet
of the supernumerary limb had six toes, while the other, which was
merely an outgrowth, had two toes on it.

According to Jules Guerin, the child named Gustav Evrard was born with
a thigh ending in two legs and two imperfect feet depending from the
left nates.

Tucker describes a baby born in the Sloane Maternity in New York,
October 1, 1894, who had a third leg hanging from a bony and fleshy
union attached to the dorsal spine. The supernumerary leg was well
formed and had a left foot attached to it. Larkin and Jones mention the
removal of a meningocele and a supernumerary limb from an infant of
four months. This limb contained three fingers only, one of which did
not have a bony skeleton.

Pare says that on the day the Venetians and the Genevois made peace a
monster was born in Italy which had four legs of equal proportions, and
besides had two supernumerary arms from the elbows of the normal limbs.
This creature lived and was baptized.

Anomalies of the Feet.--Hatte has seen a woman who bore a child that
had three feet. Bull gives a description of a female infant with the
left foot double or cloven. There was only one heel, but the anterior
portion consisted of an anterior and a posterior part. The anterior
foot presented a great toe and four smaller ones, but deformed like an
example of talipes equinovarus. Continuous with the outer edge of the
anterior part and curving beneath it was a posterior part, looking not
unlike a second foot, containing six well-formed toes situated directly
beneath the other five. The eleven toes were all perfect and none of
them were webbed.

There is a class of monsters called "Sirens" on account of their
resemblance to the fabulous creatures of mythology of that name. Under
the influence of compression exercised in the uterus during the early
period of gestation fusion of the inferior extremities is effected. The
accompanying illustration shows the appearance of these monsters, which
are thought to resemble the enchantresses celebrated by Homer.

Anomalies of the Hand.--Blumenbach speaks of an officer who, having
lost his right hand, was subsequently presented by his wife with
infants of both sexes showing the same deformity. Murray cites the
instance of a woman of thirty-eight, well developed, healthy, and the
mother of normal children, who had a double hand. The left ar
