round : He farther obferved, that all the head was covered with 
hair, as the other pigs were 5 that it had pigs teeth 5 the hair of 
the pigs head was yellow, as that of the fow was j the monftrous 
pig was as big and as well grown, as the reft of the pigs 5 it had 
a pig's Ihout, and there was no upper lip, as in the ihunian kind, 
in all the other parts, it appeared to be a perfect pig, no parts 
being wanting but thole of tne face which were diflortcd by fome 
external accident 5 17 weeks after the fow took boar, which is 
the ulual time, flie pigged eight pigs, the firll five were perfeil, 
the lixth was the monlter, and after that two more perfect pigs 5 
this monfler was pigged alive, but died becaufe it could not 
fuck, the nole being ftopped 5 and for this reafon, and becaule 
of the alteration of the figure of its mouth this pig's cry was not 
like the others j all which further convinced Sir John that there 
really was no mixture of two fpecies in this monfler: This 
kind of monflrous pigs, produced by the unnatural iituation of 
the parts by Ibme external compreflion, S'ltjohn thinks, are very 
frequent, having had another of the fame kind fent him out of 
2)erhyjhirey which had the refemblance of a human face, the 
chin, the depreflion betwixt the eyes, the roundnefs of the head 
and flatnels of the ears, as above defcribed, and all its other 
parts like a pig, only that it was without any hair, as untimely 
pigs commonly are, and no fex could be diftinguiflied therein. 
At Thorpe m Staffordjhiret two turkeys were taken out of an 
egg (of the ordinary fize) when the refl of the eggs were well 
hatched; they grew together by the fleih of the breafl-bone, but 
were diflindl in all other parts; they leemed lefs than ordinary 
turkeys; for there wanted both nutriment, and room for their 
growth, which was the occafion of their cohefion and fmallnelsj 
they had diftinfl: cavities in their bodies, and two hearts; fothat 
they had two diftinfl Cicatriculce ox treddles, and confequently 
the egg from whence they were produced had two yolks in it, 
which accident is very common: But Sir jfohn had a dried mon- 
flrous chicken, which had but one head, four wings, four legs, 
one cavity in the body and confequently but one heart; in this 
cafe this monflrous chicken was produced from one Cicatricula -y 
fo ^ar£us mentions a double infant with one heart ; in thele ca- 
jcs the original of the infant was one and the veflels regular; but 
in the extreme parts the arteries and nerves were divided into 
more branches than ordinary, and produced double parts; and 
thus it is like the double flowers of plants, which are produced 
by the richnefs of the foil ; as the two yolks in an egg are joined 
in the Ovarium and covered with one ikin, fo it is in the eggs
