500 On the Nervous Systems of 
3. The brain. and upper part of the spinal 
marrow have ‘been wanting, where the lower 
portion of the latter was entire and nearly of the 
natural size and conformation; as in the case of 
the human male monster, of which Dr. Monro 
has given an interesting account, illustrated with 
engtavings in the Trans. of the Royal Soc. of 
Edinburgh, Vol. III. p. 216 &c—This child was 
a twin and born at the full time. It had no head, . 
or neck; it wanted also about one half of the 
ribs; the larynx, trachea and lungs; the heart ; 
the pharynx, cesophagus and. stomach with all 
the small intestines, except the end. of the ilium ; 
the anus; the liver, spleen, pancreas and omenta}3 
the renal glands; terminations of the ureters ; the 
middle part of the urethra; the right testicle; 
both arms; both patella; with several of the. 
bones of the feet and toes” ‘s The spinal 
marrow was of aconical shape with the top, or 
small part of the cone at its upper end, and at 
its lower end it formed a cauda equina. From 
its two ends and sides it sent off 18 pairs of 
nerves; which at their origin and in their pro~ 
gress were nearly as large as they are in a perfect 
fetus, or where the brain and cerebellum are 
connected with the spinal marrow,” 
The Dr. makes the following remarks on the 
nervous system of this monster. 1. As the 
spinal marrow and pairs of nerves, sent off from
