Abstract
In the year 1790, I laid before this learned Society, an account of a child with a double head, illustrated by drawings, which is honoured with a place in the Philosophical Transactions, Vol. LXXX. Since that time, Mr. Dent, the gentleman who sent over from India the double skull, which was shewn at the meeting when the Paper was read, has returned to England. Among his drawings there are two portraits of the double head, taken by Mr. Devis, an artist of considerable merit, who was upon a visit at Mr. Dent’s house, in Bengal, when the child was brought there alive, to be shewn as a curiosity. These drawings give a more faithful representation of the appearance of the double head, than the engravings annexed to the former Paper, and at the same time exhibit a striking likeness of the child’s features.
