The Express is responsible tor the fol-
lowing singular story: Samuel Burbank
Dt Coventry. last Thursday morning found
4 valuable brood mare of his, dead. In
seeking for the cause of death. a colt was
aiken from the body. The body of the
colt was perfectly developed, but the head
bore not the slightest resemblance TO the
equine species. The upper part of the
head very closely resembles well formed
and fully developed adult human head.
The contour. the temples, the upper eX
of the cheeks. three crowns upon
the top of the head, the soft spot or open
inc in the skull az found in infant heads.
the location and first formation of the ears
and the location OF the eyes, the eyebrows
and eyelashes, all make the resemblance
to the human head close. striking and un-
mStakable. There are two distinct eyes.
much like the human eye. though larger.
and these are separated from each other
only by a membrane. and placed in one
large socket or cavity in the centre of the
head There is but little semblance of a
nose. while the mouth somewhat resem-
beS that of a colt. but is located more
like human mouth. and the protuber-
ance below the mouth is as much like a
chin as the under lip of the horse. The
eXtremitieS of the ears are somewhat like
that of the horse. and in fact is about the
only resemblance to a horse. 1t Is the
greatest curiosity we have ever seen, and
We doubt if a more singular and remarka-
bic maltOrmatiOn has ever been produced.
