100 ABNORMAL CONDITIONS OF THE GENERATIVE ORGANS. 



the prepuce. The labia are close together below the 

 urethra-like external generative opening : they resemble 

 a scrotum. Externally this foetus could not have been 

 distinguished from a hypospadiac male. The inch and a 

 half of the genital tract common to the vagina and ure- 

 thra is very narrow. Above the neck of the bladder the 

 vagina is normal ; it has been laid open to show the os 

 and cervix uteri. The Fallopian tubes and ovaries are 

 normal. The left round ligament has been preserved ; 

 it ends in the cellular tissue of the labium. 



430. The external organs of generation of a Human female in- 



fant. The vaginal opening is contracted as in the last 

 two preparations. There is a very large clitoris almost 

 embraced by the labia and nymphse, the latter forming a 

 prepuce above the clitoris. . 



There appears to have been an imperforate anus ac- 

 companying the malformation, for which an operation 

 has been performed; this is not, however, recorded.

431. The generative organs of a male Sheep with extreme 



hypospadias. The urethra opens immediately in front of 

 the anus ; but a groove passes forward from this point 

 to the extremity of the penis. The glans penis is small, 

 but is situated in the normal position. The retractor 

 muscles of the penis are absent, and the abdominal in- 

 tegument is united with the edges of the groove on the 

 under side of the penis, as far forward as the glans. The 

 , scrotum is cleft into two distinct sacs ; these are filled 

 with hypertrophied connective tissue. The testes are 

 abdominal. The vesiculse seminales and vasa deferentia 

 open into the urethra. Hunterian. 



432. A similar preparation. The upper part of the bladder, 



vasa deferentia, and all the parts beyond have been re- 

 moved. Hunterian. 



433. A longitudinal section of the extremity of the penis of a 



similar Sheep. Hunterian.
