The malformation is however not limited to the extremities, but extends over the trunk and the head. The liead has in all the known cases the aspect of hydrocephalus. The neck is short and broad, the trunk short and swollen, and the limbs short, broad, and thick. Seemmering and Otto ascribe this to congenital rachitis. 33ut according to my opinion it ought to be attributed to defective developement, which is confirmed by the dissection, performed by C. Mayer, of such a monstrosity. 4. Limbs which seem to be truncated.— Some- times the fore-arm and the leg terminate abruptly like stumps, and present the appear- ance of cicatrices. I saw this on the four extremities of a calf, of which I have repre- sented the external form and the dissection in my Tabula? Ixxviii. and Ixxix. In many ot the known cases this defective condition of the limbs seems to be the result of arrested developement. In some others, however, it is the effect of mutilation produced by the con- striction of the umbilical cord, or by pseudo- membranes. Montgomery has given many examples of it in his article FCETUS in this Cyclopaedia. It is an interesting fact that from these stumps may grow rudiments of fingers, as Dr. Simpson showed me dur
