A text-book of veterinary obstetrics : including the diseases and accidents incidental to pregnancy, parturition and early age in the domesticated animals . ,adipose tissue, etc., destitute of umbilical cord, and attached to thegenerative apparatus of the mother, at whose expense they maintainan obscure parasitic existence, by means of a vascular pedicle. The double monstrosities are divided into autositarian and doubleparasitic. The first are composed of two individuals more or lessintimately united, and somewhat equal in development ; this equalityindicating that they both have been equally nourished, and that their functions have been alike complete. The second are composed of two 26 402 FCETAL DYST OKI A. distinct individuals, very unequal in development, the smallest beingthe most imperfect; testifying that it, Hke a parasite, has lived at theexpense of the other. It would appear that the triple monstrositieshave not been met with in sufficiently large number to establish atrustworthy classification. Each of the orders of Saint-Hilaire, like those of Gurlt, containsseveral families, subdivided again into genera and species, according. Fig. 104. EcTROMELiAN MONSTROSITY (Saint-Hilaiee) ; Nanomclus Campylochirus (Gurlt;i : Horse. to their affinities, and which include all the monstrosities he had metwith. With regard to these families, it may be mentioned that amongthe single autositic monstrosities, there are the ectromelians {ixTpdm,to make abort, yueAos, limb), in which we have a more or less completedeficiency in the development of the limbs, either anteriorly orposteriorly, and involving one or more of these (Figs. 104, 105).
