A curious malformation was discovered on the head of a sheep reared by a, farmer in the Levin district. While earmarking was in progress a short while ago it was discovered that one of the sheep had two mouths, one. in the usual position and the other formed just below the ear-lobe. This extra mouth lacked the large cavity of the mouth proper, but there was a full formation of lips and teeth, but without a tongue. The animal itself is perfectly health ami normal in every other respect, but it is remarkable that this freak had not been discovered until almost six months after birth.
