TESTICLE AS GLAXD OF INTERNAL SECRETION 515 



axillary hairs are scarce or absent. The pubic hair absent or limited to 

 the mons veneris, where it has feminine configuration. 



The face shows wrinkles even in early life, particularly about the 

 mouth and eyes. In later life it becomes excessively wrinkled. 



As regards adiposity, there are two types of eunuchs the emaciated 

 type and the fat type. 



Height and disproportion are more pronounced in the emaciated type ; 

 the face has a faded, old-age appearance. 



The fat type has a generally bloated, swollen look. 



In both types is found the characteristic collection of adipose tissue 

 in certain definite areas, i. e., lower abdomen, hips, nates, breasts, and 

 lateral to the upper eyelids, which last gives a peculiar sleepy expression 

 to the face. In the fat type the fat is distributed all over the body, but- 

 in these regions in particular, is excessive. 



The musculature in general is weak. 



When castration has taken place in early life there is a general under- 

 development of the entire genital apparatus, a standstill at a certain grade 

 of development. Prostate, seminal vesicles and ducts remain in a more 

 or less infantile condition. Penis, if it remains, will resemble that of 

 a young boy. 



The functional separation of the urinary and generative apparatuses is 

 clearly seen. While the muscle corpus cavernosum urethra and the m. 

 bulbocavernosus surrounding the bulbus urethralis have reached a devel- 

 opment commensurate with the age of the individual, the muscle corpora 

 cavernosa penis and the m. ischiocavernosus have stayed behind in their 

 development or even fallen a prey to inactivity atrophy. 



The vita sexualis may be extinguished, or it may continue in greater 

 or less degree. There may be erection and ejaculation, the former -of 

 short duration, the latter watery and thin. 



A report by Tandler of one of the scopzi, Jacob, illustrates well the 

 persistency of the sexual libido and ability in the castrated individual : 



Jacob is 42 years old, castrated at 21 years of age. Height is 156% 

 cm., span of arms 163 cm., upper border sym. pubis to floor 78 cm. He is 

 thick set, broad shouldered and well proportioned except for unusually long 

 arms. The hair of the head is fine, thick and brown ; the skin of the face 

 is wrinkled and furrowed, and there are some long hairs at the corner 

 of the mouth and on the chin. The axillary hair is scarce ; prominentia 

 laryngia scarcely shows. The thyroid cartilage is soft while the thyroid 

 gland is palpable and apparently normal. Crines pubis is limited to 

 mons veneris and ends superiorly in a horizontal line. Hair is very 

 scarce. 



The penis development is the same as in a boy of 14 to 16 years old. 

 Below the penis the remains of the scrotum are manifest as a slight promi- 

 nence of skin, in the center of which is a three rayed white scar. Per rec-
