Eeporter, March, 1859 ; and from this last the follow- ing extracts are made : Tumor nearly a foot in length, and divides upon the surface into several globular masses, with fingers and a rudimentary forearm. Intestines covered by skin, but at birth by a membrane like the peritoneum. Parasite separated from the child by a peculiar, caul-like membrane.
