From MICHAEL D. FELLOWS
The claim of Godwin Isitor of the University of the West Indies (In
Brief, 23 May) that ‘It (the siamese calf) appears to be the first of its
kind’ cannot be true because I saw such a calf on my Uncle’s farm on the
Isle of Wight in 1939. It attempted to suckle unsuccessfully and was hand-fed
for a short time before being put down by a vet.
