Jansen speaks of a man in Spain, born without arms, who could use his feet as well as most people use their arms.

Schenck and Lotichius give descriptions of armless people.
Hulke describes a child of four whose upper limbs were absent, a small dimple only being in their place.

He had free movement of the shoulders in every direction and could grasp objects between his cheeks and his acromian process; the prehensile power of the toes was well developed, as he could pick up a coin thrown to him.

A monster of the same conformation was the celebrated painter, Ducornet, who was born at Lille on the 10th of January, 1806.

He was completely deprived of arms, but the rest of the body was well formed with the exception of the feet, of which the second toe was faulty.
