IV. A ^lation of two Monftrous Tigs, with the 
refemhlance of Humane Faces ^ and two young 
Turkeys joined by the ^rea/ly by Sir John Floyer, 
Communicated by T>r. Edward Tyfonj Fellow of

BY the defciptioii of the following Monfters I de- 
fjgn to prove that the Diftortion of the parts of 
a Fdtus, may occafion it to reprefent the Figure of dif-

flatnefs of the Ears furprized all Perfons, and they did 
ufually apprehend it to be a Humane Face, produced 
by the Copulation of two Species. But when I had 
long confider'd the Head, I obferved there was a de- 
preffion of the Bone? of the Nofe in that place which 
was betwixt the Eyes ; in which the Pig's Face feem'd 
to me to be broken, and the Nole drawn up to appear 
like a Humane : the Under-Jaw was inverted to grow 
up to meet the Upper, the Tongue and Mouth were 
made more hke a Humane, being altered by fomc ex- 
ternal Preflure upon the Mouth of the Pig, which broke 
the Bones of the Nofe, and caufed their depreflion to- 
wards the Palate, and the inverfion of the Under^Jaw, 
I'his preflure on the Mouth forced the Bonea upward, 
fo much as to cover the Eye-holes, and the Pig appears 
blind : A. (TakiJ is the place of the Bone dcprefied : B-
