This foetus is very small in proportion to the size of the 
nother. The legs are short, like those of a badger, and stuck 
;o the trunk; the feet have five short toes, well marked ;

lut, the head forms a ball which ought to have contained five

ips, the lower one divided in two. The right labial com¬ 
missure does not exist, and the mouth communicates widely 
with the orbital cavity.— Ibid.
