both Nutriment, and room for the growing of both 
Turkeys, which was the occafion of their cohefion and 
finalincfs. 'Tis very obvious to imagine that the 
Egg had two Yolks in it, and from thence came the 
double Turkeys;. For 'tis a general caution amongft 
the Women not to (et any Egg with two Yolks, be- 
caufe it always mifcarries. Thefe Turkeys had diftindt 
Cavities in their Bodies, and two Hearts ; fo that they 
had two diftin(9: Ckatriculas, and coniequently two 
Yolks from whence they were produced, which Acci- 
dent is very common. 1 have a dried Monftrous 
Chicken, which was given me, it has but one Head, 
four Wings, four Legs, and one cavity in the Body, and 
confequcntly had but one Heart, in this cafe this Mon- 
flrous Chicken was produced from one Cicatricula, and 
confequentiy one Heart. So Paraus mentions a double 
Infant with one Heart ; in thefe Cafes the Original of 
the Infant was one, and the Veflels regular, but in the 
extremity the Arteries and Nerves were divided into 
more Branches than ordinary, and produced double 
parts; and t|js is like the double Flowers of Plants/ 
which are produced fo by the richnefs of the Soil. 
As the two Yolks of Eggs are joyned mxX^QOvariunfj 
and covered with one Skin. So it is in thfe Eggs of 
^adrupeds they are joyned in the Ovarium, and as 
they grow their Bodies do externally cohere. So that 
I may obferve that there are thefe two Reafons of the 
multitude of the parts in an E;;?^^? ; the joining of two 
perfect Animals, or elfe the extraordinary divifion of 
the 'Original Veflels, the Arteries and Nerves. I can* 
• not omit another Accident, of which I was informed, 
and it was much admired by the Country. This yeat
