When I was at Stetin in Pomerania, about 1 2 or 
14 Years ago, a Midwife came to tell me, that a 
Sergeant's Wife was delivered of three dead Children, 
one of which had no Head. I immediately went, 
and obferved, that thefe Foetufes had died at different 
times. One began already to corrupt, and the Epi~

Flacentas, and two Coats ; fo that this Monfter muft 
abfolutely have been in one of thofe Coats with 
another Foetus. The Midwife was not skilful 
enough to give me an Account of the Delivery : I 
put ^eftions to the Mother, who afiured me fhe 
felt one Child dying three Weeks before, and that 
the laft died the Evening before. I offered a good 
Sum of Money to have all fhe was delivered of, but 
they would not let me have it. I ftill offered Money 
to have only Permiflion to diffed the Monfter, but 
the impertinent Superftition of the Parents deprived 
me of that Satisfadion.

Foetus., which deferves particular Attention. It is of 
eight Months, without Head or Arms : The Figure
