ANIMAL REPRODUCTIONS. 424 
_ Enever doubted that the trunk would produce 
new fingers and toes: my former experiments 
had prepared me for it: and in fact, I did fee 
little papillae on each trunk after an interval of 
fome weeks, which announced the reproduction 
of parts in the place of thofe deftroyed. The 
firft two fingers of each hand were wanting, and 
the laft three toes. 
Two new fingers, about two-thirds of a line 
Jong, and in the natural pofition, appeared on 
each hand, 21 Augult. The fecond of the right 
hand exhibited a very fingular monftrofity of the 
{pecies already defcribed. ‘This finger was much 
larger than it fhould have been, and evidently 
arofe from two germs grafted by approach. An 
originating cleft, fimilar to the others, was per- 
ceptible at the extremity. . 
The hand is magnified, fig. 9. m the monftrous 
finger: d, the other beginning to grow. The 
foot is of its natural fize, but the originating 
toes, 7, 7, in an unnatural pofition, fig. 10. 
Though the monftrous finger was examined 
with a confiderable magnifier, nothing along the 
middle, which indicated the union of the two fin- 
gers, could be difcovered: all was uniform. 
This, as well as the whole new fingers and toes, 
was femi-tranfparent, and of a whitifh or greyith 
colour.
