ence the effects of the operation; and of thefe, 
the following is an example.

fubjoin fome remarkable inftances of monftrofity 
arifing from the amputation of members. 
A. foot which had produced fix toes, but.three 
of them united great part of their length, is re- 
prefented, fig. 13. The fame foot is magnified, 
fig. 14, to fhew the monftrofity better. On

formed as the others by the union of two. Here. 
there are two clefts inftead of one. The branch
