A similar case is reported by Lumby in which a woman was delivered on January 18th, by a midwife, of a full-grown and healthy female child.

On the third day she came down-stairs and resumed her ordinary duties, which she continued until February 4th (seventeen days after).

At this time she was delivered of twins, a boy and a girl, healthy and well-developed.

The placenta was of the consistency of jelly and had to be scooped away with the hand.

The mother and children did well.
