[322] Pullus iste tribus pedibus natus tertium habebat, velut ex uropygio enatum.

This chick born with three legs had the third one as growing out from uropygial gland.

 

Sceleton hoc pulli monstrifici est, et superiori pullo fere similis, nisi quod pes e podice natus {quinque} <sex> digitis sit instructus.

This skeleton is of a monstrous chick almost similar to the previous one except that the foot which grows out from the rump has six toes.
