II. An Account of double Foetus’s of Calves, 
by Monf le Cat, M.D. F.R.S . &c. dated at 
Rouen, Auguft 20. 1748. N.S. Tranf- 
lated from the French by T. S. M. D, 
; F. R. s. 
oa. 27.THAVE, fince the Month of 'January 
I 7 + 8 - 1737. been in Pofieffion of a Child, 
born in our City of Rouen , which has two Heads, four 
Arms, four lower Extremities,and two Trunks united, 
and as it were blended together. About that time I 
publifhed * a Defcription of the internal Parts of this 
Monfter, which had but one Heart ; but I did notcaufe 
Draughts to be taken of thofe Parts : and it would 
now be a difficult Matter to have them drawn fo 
as to exhibit a good Reprefentation of the State in 
which they then were. This Negligence, through 
which I am deprived of thofe curious and inftru&ive 
Figures, which this monftrous Birth would have af- 
forded, made me wifhfor a like Opportunity, in fome 
meafure at lead: to make amends for that Fault. 
This Opportunity prefented itfelf in January 1748. 
not in a human Foetus , but in a Calf, which the 
Butchers of our Hofpital cut out of a Cow. 
The Defcription which I fhall give of this Mon- 
ger, will be the Explanation of the Figures that re- 
prefent it.
