Jan Bondeson is a London physician whose interest in proven and legendary human physical peculiarities began while in medical school and stimulated him to develop a substantial collection of antiquarian illustrations of such phenomena. His 1997 book A Cabinet of Medical Curiosities, which utilized this collection, was reviewed in the Bulletin in 1999 (73: 157-59). Bondeson states: "The present book deals almost entirely with various aspects of the history of teratology" (p. xx)--yet since teratology is the study of congenital malformations, this claim is not entirely accurate. This volume is a continuation of his first work. The consideration of extreme hirsutism is largely redundant, while much additional lore about gigantism is to be found in the newer book. Although more space is devoted to examples of various types of conjoined twins, there are cases of extreme cutaneous horns (a neoplasm), an unresolved question of whether an individual suffered from pituitary dwarfism or progeria, extreme obesity, incredible gluttony, et cetera that cannot be considered teratologic.
