An account of a very odd monstrous calf

Abstract

By the same noble person was lately communicated to the Royal Society an account of a very odd monstrous birth, produced at Limmington in Hampshire, where a butcher, having caused a cow (which cast her calf the year before) to be covered, that she might the sooner be fatted, killed her when fat, and opening the womb, which he found heavy to admiration, saw in it a calf, which had begun to have hair, whose hinder leggs had no joynts, and whose tongue was, Cerberus like, triple to each side of his mouth one,and one in the midst;
