Dr. Clarke's Description, &c. 155 
The surface of this substance was covered with the com- 
mon integuments, and from it issued four projecting parts. 
Of these the upper is an imperfect resemblance of the foot of 
a child, having one large and three smaller toes upon it. The 
lower is a still more imperfect imitation of a foot, having 
one large and two smaller toes. 
Between the two feet is situated a small and rounded pro- 
jection ; into which a small passage led, capable of contain- 
ing a large bristle, but it soon terminated in a cnl de sac. Close 
to the funis there was another small and thin projection, about 
a third of an inch in length, which looks like a finger, and was 
found to contain bony matter, and joints. 
There was no appearance of head, or neck. No ribs could 
be felt, nor clavicle, nor scapula. There was no vestige of 
any thing like legs, or thighs, or upper extremities ; or of 
organs of generation. 
The only external similarity of this monster to a human 
foetus, consists of its covering, and the attempt at a formation 
of two feet, and a finger. 
Before the internal structure was examined, the navel- 
string of the perfect foetus was injected, from whence the in- 
jection very readily passed through both placentae, viz. that 
of itself, and that of the monster ; and then into the substance 
of the monster also, as appeared by the redness of the skin. 
When the injection had become cold, the skin was care- 
fully dissected off; in doing which it was found that the up- 
per foot had no bony connection, but grew loose, and only 
connected to the internal parts by cellular substance. The 
lower foot was articulated to the inferior part of the tibia and 
fibula.
