On a Human Cyclops

Extract

While the occurrence of the condition termed Cyclopia cannot be considered as altogether a rare event, the obscurity in which its pathology is still involved makes it desirable that a full description of every case should be put on record. The specimen in my possession was that of a well-formed female embryo which had apparently reached the seventh month. With the exception of the malformation to be specially considered, there was no abnormality either in its external appearances, or in the structure and disposition of any of its viscera.
