IV. Part of a Letter fromDr. Archibald 
Adams of Norwich, to Dr. f dw r aid 
Tyfon, Fellow of the College of Phyji- 
cians and Royal Society ; concerning a 
MonBrous Calf and fome things ohferva-

Young, employ’d his Neighbour to affift her ; this 
Man not thinking of any fuch Rarity us’d fucli violence

him an Eftate : then it Dy’d, and being Rip’d up was

Wings, which to me feem to be Bags formed out of the 
Membranes, torn and dillended from the adjacent parts, 
and by frefh fupplies from the circulating Fluids were 
inlarg’d to the bignefs you now fee them in. Whether 
the A’ubltance contain’d in thefe Baggs was Fibrous and 
Mufcular, or only a heap of Veffels inclofed in a Cjfiis, 
like the Placenta, The Affiftants Ignorance, and the 
diftance of time and place, it being three Years ago, 
make me uncapable to account for .• The place is called 
Wolterton in Norfolk.
