I was further convinced in-Opinion that there was 
really no mixture of the two Species m this Monftcr, 
by the Woman's account who faw the Sow take the 
Bore, and after fixteen Weeks, on the beginning of the 
feventeenth, which is the ufuai time, the Sow pigged 
eight Pigs, the firfl: five were perfed Pigs, the fixth 
was the Monfter, and afrer that two more perfe6l 
Pigs, all which I (aw fucking the Sow, and as well 
ftiaped, and as large as poffible, being then three or 
four days old. 
1 oft reflected on the Figure of a Mule, that being 
an Animal produced by the Copulation of an Afs and 
a Mare, the extremities of the Body, the Feet, Tail 
and Ears, and the black Crofe on the Back relembling 
that of the AfTes ; by this we can obferve that the Fe- 
male contains in her Eggs the firfl: Rudiments of the 
Animal of her own Species, and that the impregnati- 
on only changes fome of the extremities into rcfem- 
blance of the Male. 
Parous gives an Account of a Monfl:€r born at Bruffels 
Annoi$6^' with a Humane Head, Face, and fore Feet 
like Hands and Shoulders ; but in the refl; of the Body 
like another Pig, This at firfl: fight relembled our 
Monfl:rous Pig defcribed, but ours had no Hands, nei- 
ther any part truly Human, but only Hke the Humane 
Kind. 
Licetus de Monfiris^ gives many odd Stories of tlie 
mixture of many Animals, of Pigs with a Man s Head, 
and Pigs with Dogs Heads ; and a Monfl;er half Man, 
and the lower parts like a Dog, and this both Cardan 
and Par£us delcribe. This (eems to contradid our 
new Difcoveries ; for if the Male fupplies the Animd-^ 
cuU, the pAtus mufl: alway be of the fame Species as 
the Male, if the Female fupplies it of her Kind, but 
this Monfter mufl: be by a mixture of both Species.
