a Child with a double Head. ooi 
flight degree affeCled, and the external canthus much con- 
tracted, but the eye itfelf was perfeCt. 
The eyelids of the fuperior head were never completely 
fliut, remaining a little open, even when the child was afleep, 
and the eyeballs moved at random. When the child was 
roufed, the eyes of both heads moved at the fame time ; but 
thofe of the luperior head did not appear to be directed to the
