There is a similar instance reported in 1827 of a woman of twenty-seven who, having been delivered of twins two years before, was brought to bed with 5 children, 3 boys and 2 girls.

Their length was from 15 1/2 to 16 1/2 inches.

The mother was much exhausted, but recovered.

The children appeared old-looking, had tremulous voices, and slept continually; during sleep their temperatures seemed very low.
