Sir, 
THere have been two Monftrous births this year in 
this place, both Females: the firft was two perfectly 
form'd Children above and below the belly, having two 
heads, four arms, and four legs, only the two arms which 
flood next other were not perfectly form'd into hands 
and fingers, the breafts beginning to joyn thereabouts; 
there was but one belly , tho* fomewhat bigger than 
ordinary, one Navel and iV^ W-ftring tyed to one after- 
birthi yet there were four buttocks, two diftind: funda- 
ments, and the two privities were confounded together. 
*Tis thought they might have been brought forth alive, 
but that they ftaid long in the birth, for that both heads 
prefenting together, the Midwife thought they had been 
Twins,
