Warren delivered a woman in Derbyshire of male twins, one weighing 17 pounds 8 ounces and the other 18 pounds.
The placenta weighed 4 pounds, and there was an ordinary pailful of liquor amnii.

Both the twins were muscular and well formed; the parents were of ordinary stature, and at last reports the mother was rapidly convalescing.

Burgess mentions an 18-pound new-born child; end Meadows has seen a similar instance.

Eddowes speaks of the birth of a child at Crewe, a male, which weighed 20 pounds 2 ounces and was 23 inches long.
It was 14 1/2 inches about the chest, symmetrically developed, and likely to live.

The mother, who was a schoolmistress of thirty-three, had borne two previous children, both of large size.
