MAN HAS "a FINGERS AND Toes.
Dixie Wolcott.

MAN HAS "a FINGERS AND TOES.
Men with n extra finger or toe may
sometimes be seen, but very rarely
does hear or see a person with
twenty-four fingers and toes. Conse-
quently, a servant of the Marquis de
Balincourt who is thus equipped is at
present exciting much interest among
European scientists. He is a young
man, and on each hand he has six well
developed fingers, while on each foot
he has an equal number of we'll de-
veloped toes. 1t is not known whether
he inherited this anomaly, but the as
sumption is that he did. His super
numerary members are of no special
use to him, but he is never allowed to
forget that he possesses them, as his
comrades, for an obvious reason, have
nicknamed him "Twenty-four." DR..
Captain, a well-knowp ethnologist,
writing on this subject says: There
are two forms of this singular phe-
nomenon, the true and hybrid. In the
true form, as seen in the case of the
Marquis servant, the supernumerary
fingers and toes are complete addition
al members, the fingers being usually
placed beside the thumbs and the toes
besides the great toes. In the hybrid
form, on the other hand, the additional
fingers and toes are merely a result of
a division which has taken place in
the regular members. The thumb is
the part usually affected, and it may
be divided at the first joint, though the
division generally starts at the base.
All the other fingers may be divided
in a similar manner; indeed, as many
as fifteen fingers have been found on
one hand. Atavism is evidently the
cause, but one would have 10 travel
very far back in order to discover the
origin of such fingers and toes"
