On both sides some portions of a canal were seen, hut whether they were the remains of the vasa deferentia or Fallopian tubes was not ascertained on account of the previous mutilation of the uterus. On each side of the neck of the uterus there was placed a vesieula seminalis, provided with an ejaculatory duct that opened into the orifice of the vagina. The dimensions of the pelvis approached much nearer to those of the female than those of the male. In the secondary sexual characters of the individual, the female type was further re cognised in the want of prominence in the larynx, in the slender form of the neck, and (according to Professor Mayer) in the rounded shape also of the heart, the smallness of the lungs, the oblong shape of the stomach, the large size of the liver, the narrowness of the forehead, and the conformation of the brain ; while the individual approximated, on the other hand, to the male in the length and posi tion of the inferior extremities, in the breadth of the thorax, the undeveloped state of the mamma and the hairy condition of their pa and in the existence of a slender beard upon the chin and cheeks.
j. In the second adult subject (a person of eighty years of age) Mayer* found, on the left side of the cavity of the abdomen, and near the inguinal ring, a small oval body exhibiting imperfectly in its internal structure the tubular texture of the male testicle, and having an appendix resembling the epididymis attached to it. From this testicle arose a vas deferens, which was joined in its course by a vesieula seminalis, and ended in an ejaculatory duet. On the opposite or right side a vesieula semina his, having no continuous cavity, was present ; but no vestige of a corresponding testicle, vas deferens, or ejaculatory duct could be disco vered. The prostate gland was present, and regularly formed. In the cavity of the pelvis an uterus was found with parietes of moderate thickness, and of the usual cavernous texture; its cervix was marked internally with the appear ance of the natural arboreseent raga. Inferiorly it opened into a narrow membranous vagina, that received the right ejaculatory duct, then passed through the body of the prostate, and latterly joined the canal of the urethra. The fundus of the uterus could not be examined, as it had been removed in a previous stage of the dissection. The external parts were male and naturally formed, with the exception of the penis, which was shorter than usual, and bad the canal of the urethra fissured inferiorly, and the meatus urinarius situated at its root. 'rho individual was during life regarded as a male, but had all along remained in a state of celi bacy. The general appearance of the face and body was that of au imperfectly marked male, but the pelvis was broad like that of a female.
3. Co-existence of female ovaries and male testicles.--This third division of complex or double hermaphroditism includes all those cases in which a male testicle and female ovary exist together either upon one side only, or upon both sides of the body. With this arrange
ment, other malformations by duplicity of the sexual organs are generally combined ; but these are so various in their character as not easily to admit of any useful generalization. In considering this third division of complex hermaphroditism, we shall mention, first, the cases in which two testicles and one ovary are stated to have co-existed ; and secondly, those in which there have been supposed to be pre sent two testicles and two ovaries.
Two testicles and one ovary.—The two dis sections that we have previously detailed of lateral hermaphroditic insects, (see Lateral Hermaphroditism, p. 696,) shew that in these two cases this variety of sexual duplicity existed. It appears to have been observed also in two instances of hermaphroditic malformation in the quadruped, the histories of which have been described by Mascagni and Mayer.
In a bull, nine years of age, and which was provided with the usual external organs of the male, Mascagni found internally, on dis section, a prostrate gland and two perfect vesiculm seminales, vasa deferentia, epidi dymes, and testicles. The testicles and epi didymes were injected with mercury through the vasa deferentia. In addition there was dis covered near the left testicle, and connected to it by peritonwum and bloodvessels, a body having the structure of the female ovary ; and, in its normal situation, there existed a distended double uterus, containing from fifteen to sixteen pounds of a clear fluid. This uterus was furnished with two Fallopian tubes at its upper part, and terminated inferiorly in a vagina, which opened by a small orifice into the male urethra.* In a goat dissected by Mayer,t he found two testes with their epididymes fully developed, and vasa deferentia and vesiculw seminales. One of the testes was placed without and the other still remained within the abdominal cavity. At the same time there were present a large fe male vagina communicating with the urethra, and a double•horned uterus provided with two Fallopian tubes. One of these tubes terminated in a blind canal, but the other had placed at its abdominal extremity several vesicles, resem bling, according to Mayer, Graafian vesicles, or an imperfect ovary. The vesiculmseminales and (through regurgitation by the urethra and ejaculatory ducts) the cavities of the vagina and uterus, were filled with about four ounces of a whitish fluid, having the colour and odour of male semen. This fluid could not be found by the microscope to contain any seminal ani malcules, but only simple and double Monades (Monades termones et guttulas). Bergmann, however, is alleged to have found it, on analysis, to contain the same chemical principle that characterizes human male semen.
