Somewhat more perfect is the acephalous inferior ex- tremity of a goat, mentioned by Hayn. It consisted of a pelvic bone, with the other bones of the interior extremity, some muscles, the vessels and nerves of the femur, which were probably connected with the umbilical cord of the perfect goat born at the same time as the acephalus.
