5, Sexual union. J. HE organ of the inftinft of fexual union is iituated at the 

 bafe of the occipital, behind the medulla oblongata, and the 

 1 , large aperture of the occipital. 



This organ is not developed until the age of puberty; and 

 it in a great meafure influences the figure of the back of the 

 neck, becaufe the mufcles are attached to this part of the 

 , cranium. 



The developement of this organ does not take place in ani- 

 mals which are caftrated before puberty, for which reafon it is 

 invariably obferved that bulls have much ftronger necks than 

 oxen, and " that horfes which have undergone this operation, 

 before the neck is formed, are always (lender in that part." 



In the monkey, the hare and the cock, this organ is very dif- 

 tin<5t, and in pigeons and fparrows the occiput forms a peculiar 

 fack, which appears to be an appendage to the head ; it is 

 alfo known that thefe animals have a ftrong difpofition to co- 

 pulate. The fame configuration is fometimes found in the 

 cranium of men, and Gall poflefles in his cabinet feveral fkulls 

 of idiots, who were noted for lafcivioufnefs, in which the oc 

 ciput has a very unufual projection.
