This cephalic mass was covered with hair about four or five inches long, and showed the rudiments of an eye, nose, mouth, and chin.

This child was on exhibition when Dickinson saw it.

Montare and Reyes were commissioned by the Academy of Medicine of Havana to examine and report on a monstrous girl of seven months, living in Cuba.

The girl was healthy and well developed, and from the middle line of her body between the xiphoid cartilage and the umbilicus, attached by a soft pedicle, was an accessory individual, irregular, of ovoid shape, the smaller end, representing the head, being upward.

The parasite measured a little over 1 foot in length, 9 inches about the head, and 7 3/4 inches around the neck.
