Caldani speaks of a monster without arms, Davis mentions one, and Smith describes a boy of four with his upper limbs entirely absent.

Breschet has seen a child of nine with only portions of the upper arms and deformity of lower extremities and pelvis.

Pare says that he saw in Paris in 1573, at the gate of St.Andrew des Arts, a boy of nine, a native of a small village near Guise, who had no legs and whose left foot was represented by a fleshy body hanging from the trunk; he had but two fingers hanging on his right hand, and had between his legs what resembled a virile penis.

Pare attributes this anomaly to a default in the quantity of semen.
The figure and skeleton of Harvey Leach, called "Hervio Nono," is in the museum of the University College in London.

The pelvis was comparatively weak, the femurs hardly to be recognized, and the right tibia and foot defective; the left foot was better developed, although far from being in due proportion to the trunk above.
