We havealready, under the head of spurious hermaphroditism in the female,from enlargement of the clitoris, &c, mentioned several cases, inwhich, from excessive development, the external organs in women eschrichts transverse hermaphrodite. 247 had assumed some of the characters of the corresponding parts inman; but the two following cases described by Professor Eschrichtof Copenhagen, and Bouillaud of Paris, present instances of mal-formation in which the more exterior sexual organs were all formedupon the male, and the internal upon the female type. a. The subject of the case described by Eschricht1 was a twinchild that died very shortly after birth, and in whom the externalsexual organs were of the male type, and the internal female. Thepenis (Fig. 24, a) and scrotum, 6, were well developed, but theusual raphe seen upon the latter was absent. The urethral canal of Fig. the glans and body of the penis was pervious throughout, and ad-mitted of a sound being easily passed into the bladder. The glanswas remarkably thin and slender. The prepuce could be easilypushed back. No testicles could be felt in the scrotum, and inter-nally there was a uterus with Fallopian tubes and ovaries. Theuterus, <?, was about an inch in length, and had the general formpresented by this organ in female infants.
