weighed 1183.33 gm.
and was well convoluted. This case was one of simple arrest of
development, affecting all the organs of the body; he was not virile.
He was a child of large parents; had two brothers and a sister of
ordinary size and two brothers dwarfs, one 6 inches higher and the
other his size.

Several personages famous in history have been dwarfs. Attila, the
historian Procopius, Gregory of Tours, Pepin le Bref, Charles III, King
of Naples, and Albert the Grand were dwarfs. About the middle of the
seventeenth century the French episcopacy possessed among its members a
dwarf renowned for his intelligence. This diminutive man, called
Godeau, made such a success in literature that by the grace of
Richelieu he was named the Archbishop of Grasse. He died in 1672. The
Dutch painter Doos, the English painter Gibson (who was about 3 feet in
height and the father of nine infants by a wife of about the same
height), Prince Eugene, and the Spanish Admiral Gravina were dwarfs.
Fleury and Garry, the actors.

Hay, a member of Parliament from Sussex in the last century;
Hussein-Pasha, celebrated for his reforms under Selim III; the Danish
antiquarian and voyager, Arendt, and Baron Denon were men far below the
average size Varro says that there were two gentlemen of Rome who from
their decorations must have belonged to an Equestrian Order, and who
were but 2 Roman cubits (about 3 feet) high. Pliny also speaks of them
as preserved in their coffins.

It may be remarked that perhaps certain women are predisposed to give
birth to dwarfs. Borwilaski had a brother and a sister who were dwarfs.
In the middle of the seventeenth century a woman brought forth four
dwarfs, and in the eighteenth century a dwarf named Hopkins had a
sister as small as he was. Therese Souvray, the dwarf fiancee of Bebe,
had a dwarf sister 41 inches high. Virey has examined a German dwarf
of eight who was only 18 inches tall, i.e., about the length of a
newly-born infant. The parents were of ordinary size, but had another
child who was also a dwarf.

There are two species of dwarfs, the first coming into the world under
normal conditions, but who in their infancy become afflicted with a
sudden arrest of development provoked by some malady; the second are
born very small, develop little, and are really dwarfs from their
birth; as a rule they are well conformed, robust, and intelligent.
These two species can be distinguished by an important characteristic
