CORRESPONDENCE.
A CORRECTION. To the Editor of thb 'Evening Mail.' Sir —l observed that in your" numb-r -for Saturday last you quoted, a paaagraph from •: the Otago Daily Times about a child who had fourteen toes, twelve fingers and two 'thumbs. As I had the honor of .introducing this distinguished youDgiter ioto the world, perhaps
y«u will allow me to correct the Otago Times .The child has twelve, not fourteen toes— the other d .tails are correct.. lean see a tendency in this ca.e which if .not promptly checked will lead to the production of a mythic being with fourteen toe. on each foot. The child was a flnehealtfty boy, and when I last examined him I-could see ho indication lbr removing any of tbe superfluous fingers. '"-. I am, &c, M.D. ■ Nelson, June 19.
