Summary:

A case of a woman, Ann Sidley, with functional supernumerary nipples. Encloses the particulars and a drawing, written up by Mr Conquest, a surgeon of Chatham, for possible inclusion in "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society" [not extant, nor does the account appear to have been published by the Royal Society]. Having examined the woman himself, makes his own observations by comparison to a similar case described in [Thomas] Bartholin's [(1616-1680)] "Anatomia Reformata". The curiosity only discovered when she began breastfeeding. Theorises on formation and connection of the "lactiferous tubes", illustrated with a small diagram.
