of the pair. He offered as an explanation of this condition the assumption 

 of a dominance of the male gonadal internal secretion over that of the 

 female. 



On the whole, however, enough evidence already exists ta prove con- 

 clusively that there is a definite internal secretory activity (hormone pro- 

 duction) in both the ovary and the testis, and that although the interrela- 

 tion of these hormones, whether antagonistic or not, is as yet not clearly 

 understood, a dysfunction of the internal secretory properties of the 

 gonad is doubtless the cause of the appearance of such conditions as are 

 found in the pseudohermaphrodite.
