Of full-term children Sir Everard Home, in his Croonian Oration in 1824, speaks of one borne by a woman who was traveling with the baggage of the Duke of Wellington's army.

At her fourth month of pregnancy this woman was attacked and bitten by a monkey, but she went to term, and a living child was delivered which weighed but a pound and was between 7 and 8 inches long.

It was brought to England and died at the age of nine, when 22 inches high.

Baker mentions a child fifty days' old that weighed 1 pound 13 ounces and was 14 inches long.

Mursick describes a living child who at birth weighed but 1 3/4 pounds.
