fo upon the Toeii of his Feet , only excepting^ the 
two fmall Toes of each foot, where there were now 
none ; and upon three of them there never had been : 
Upon the fourth , i. e, the little Toe of the right 
Foot, as I renFiember, there had been one, but it ha- 
ving fallen ofT about fix Months fince : It came no 
more, but left the Nail very little different from na- 
tural. This horny Subftance grew not out of the 
end of the Fingers, but was as it were a thickening 
of the Nail, which inftead of growing out in length 
increafed in thicknefs , but rofe not up flrait in a 
perpendicular Line to the Finger ; but as it augment- 
ed bended forwards, and fo grew fomewhat into the 
fliape of a Bird's Claw , but that it was not taper 
and Iharp, like that, but blunt at the end , and al- 
moft of the fame bignefs all along, and full of pret- 
ty deep Chaps in the convex part^ but the concave 
was without any. He had no fenfe in the horny 
part itfelf, for I faw the pieces before-mentioned 
broken off fay wrefting feveral ways ; but he com- 
plained of pain when bending the upper part , the 
part that joyned on to his Finger was not held ve- 
ry firm and fteady 5; and thofe of his feet were fo 
tender, that he complained upon very gentle touch- 
ing of them : but the ftnfibility was not in the hor- 
ny excreicence, but in the part where it joyns on to 
the Flefh, i,e, where the Nail did formerly grow. 
There is alfo in feveral parrs of the back of his 
Hands horny excrefcencies , fome pretty broad, and 
others left , but none rifing much above the Skin ^- 
but they look there, thofe that are broad , like flat^ 
but very broad Warts 5 but to the touch they feel 
much harder.
