138 THE SEX-COMPLEX 



Earity of This classification has been adopted by many subse- 



jSm- Ular quent writers, and it is supported by Blacker and 

 aphroditism. Lawrence 1 , who in 1896 reported the first case of ovi- 

 testis, or combined ovary and testis. These writers 

 investigated the literature up to that date, and came to 

 the conclusion that of the enormous number of supposed 

 cases of what was called ' true hermaphroditism ' there 

 was only one their own recorded of the unilateral 

 variety, after the classification of Klebs ; and that 

 there was possibly one Heppner's 2 , recorded in 1870 

 of the bilateral variety, and two recorded by Schmorl 3 

 and Obolonsky 4 in 1888 of the lateral. 



Evidence The evidence in regard to these, except possibly to 



reported Blacker's and Lawrence's, cannot, however, be con- 

 sidered satisfactory, and it has been demolished by 

 Meixner 5 and others. Tuffier and Lapointe 6 , also, in 

 their paper published in 1911 apparently accept only the 

 case of Blacker and Lawrence of those published prior 

 to 1897 ; but they add to this case those of von Salen 7 , 

 Garre 8 , Landau and Pick 9 , and Schickele 10 , all recorded 

 subsequently to Blacker's and Lawrence's paper. 



Pick 11 , in an important paper published in 1914, 

 discusses exhaustively the question of this so-called 

 ' true hermaphroditism ', and comes to the same general 

 conclusions as Tuffier and Lapointe namely, that all 

 the cases of this variety reported and accepted should
