to these Teeth. But that tViis Lock of Hair was of a considerable length,we easily guessed by the scveral small Curles we observed in the yellowifhHair, which werc of the fame Bright Colour with the former Lock. Inthe middle of the Circle of the 8 Teeth, I obsirved a small Hole, but whichdid not lead far.

ViJ, 8up .ctf. i. What most I can parallel this Mcnßrous Body with are thole Instances ofTeeth, Bones and Hatr met with in the Ovaria of Women by Dr. Sampjcnand my self: But cur prescnt Instance differs from them, in that this was inthe Womb, and firmly adhering to it; the others in the Ovarium. In this theHair was on the outfide the Cystis, and rooted in its Tuniclc, in the others’twas contained within it. But as the ChtU, which was perfectly Form’d,and with much difficulty at last brought from this Woman, I doubtnor, atfirst, being ir.cluded in the Fgg, descended from the Ovarium ; fo likewisethis Subventaneous Egg, I quciiion not, might be rransmitted from the fameplace : and Nature who is never idle, being disappointed of forming in this aperfect Fatus, made the best of what the Matter would afford; and mightproduce these Teeth , Bones and Hair, which may be reckoned as Animal Ve-getables.

BjDr .Cyprianus 2. A Lady was lately delivered of a Girl, with a Wound in her Breast“■ 11,1 P-2?l ' above 4 Fingers long ; which obliqucly from the Top downwards, fromthe Sternum to the Lest side, stretehed it fest over the whole Breast. Ifbund that the Wound penetrated to the Musculi Intercostales, and that itwas at least an Inch broad, hollow under the Flefh round about the Wound :Besides that, there was a Ccntufion with a little Swelling (Red and Blue, asis used to be in Contufions') at the lower part of the Wound in the Inside.The Child came inro the World without any force ; and consequentiy itgot not this Wound in its Birth : but was occasiorcd by Strength of Ima-gination ; For about 2 Months before, the Mother was gone to Bed, andby Chance she heard a Report that a Man bad Murthercd his Wife, andwith a Enise, had given her a great Wound in her Breast, at which Rela-tion she changed, but not excestively.

Now my Opinion is, that the Child at that very Moment that theMother was Frighted received the Wcund in irs Mother’s Body, becaulethat the Wound was very Sordid ; and the inside, as well as the outfide,beset with Slitne, proceeding from the Watet wherein the Child is
