IV. Account of a monstrous birth. In a letter from John Torlese, Esq. Chief of Anjingo, to the Hon. William Hornbey, Governor of Bombay; communicated by Dr. Lind, F.R.S

Hon. Sir, As I know you are curious with respect to the productions of nature, I have taken the liberty to inclose you drawing of a child which a Nair woman was delivered of the 28th of March at midnight, and which lived till the 1st of April in the morning. In the afternoon I went to see it in company with Mr. Hutchinson and Dr. Crozier. You will see by the sketch that it had but one body, at the extremity whereof were two heads, on larger than the other.
