is the depth of it. It clofed it felf with a Spring, when w^ 
opened it by force, fo that it had grown clofed up eve'^ 
fince it was Cartilaginous. By this breach or depreflion 
of the Pig's Face, 1 was firft convinced that this Mon- 
fter was not from the Conjundion of both Kinds ; but 
only occafioned by the pervertion of the comprefTion 
of the Womb, ot PUcema, or other Pigs in the fame 
part of the Womb. And that the Pigs Head was 
fireigtned in its growth, appeared by the flatnefs of the 
Ears, and that this depreflure happened whilll the 
Bones were Cartilaginous, appears by the Bones de- 
prefled, which remain'd Cartilaginous, and at the fame 
rime the Under Jaw was inverted, and Hbad made

covered with Hair, as the other Pigs were ; that the 
Teeth in the Mouth were Pigs Teeth, the Hair of the 
Pigs Head was Yellow, as that of the Sows was : the 
Monflrous Pig was as big, and as well grown as the reft 
of the Pigs, and therefore begot by the Bore at the fame 
time: the Nofe was a perfed: Pigs Snout, and there 
was no Upper Lip as in the Hum.ane Kind; in all the 
other parts it appeared to be a perfedl Pig, no parts 
were wanting, but thofe of the Face, diftorted by fome 
external Accident. I could not learn by enquiry that 
theSowhadany blow, or other Accident, which might 
occafion the Monflrofity. It is not to be thought that 
the Imagination of the Sow could be fo violent as to 
diftort the Bones without injuring the reft of the Pigs, 
which appeared all found. This Monfter was pigged 
alive ; but dyed becaufe it could not Suck, the Nofe 
being flopped. The cry of the Pig was not like the 
other Pigs, becaufe of the ftoppage of its Nofe, and 
the alteration of the Figure of its Mouth.
