Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER VI
40/293

Of these, two girls lacked a number of teeth, but had the ordinary quantity of hair.

Hill speaks of an aboriginal man in Queensland who was entirely devoid of hair on the head, face, and every part of the body.

He had a sister, since dead, who was similarly hairless.

Hill mentions the accounts given of another black tribe, about 500 miles west of Brisbane, that contained hairless members.

This is very strange, as the Australian aboriginals are a very hairy race of people.
Hutchinson mentions a boy of three and a half in whom there was congenital absence of hair and an atrophic condition of the skin and appendages.
