148 THE SEX-COMPLEX 



So-caiied Tubular Partial Hermaphroditism. — Tubular 



herm- ° partial hermaphroditism is the modern name for the 

 aphroditism \ variety of hermaphroditism which has been known, 

 since Klebs' classification, as 'pseudohermaphroditism'. 

 The subdivisions, according to the anomalies met with, 

 adopted by this author, hold good for tubular herma- 

 phroditism. These subdivisions and the contained 

 abnormalities are set forth in the table given above. 

 It is, too, the custom in the present day to follow Klebs 

 in regard to the criteria of sex ; that is to say, a male 

 tubular partial hermaphrodite is indicated by the 

 testicular character of the gonads, and a female by the 

 ovarian structures present. We shall see presently 

 that this arbitrary ruling is open to very serious objec- 

 tions in many cases. 



No useful purpose would be served by a discussion 

 here of the details of the, different varieties shown in the 

 table (p. 136), for the relation of all these monstrosities 

 to the principles of sex-determination and sex-character- 

 ization is the same, and what is said of one variety 

 applies to the others, respectively for the different 

 sexes. 

 General The ' atypical sexe-ensemble ', as Berry Hart 1 terms 



of cOTLditions &> °f tne genital ducts and external genitalia is 

 tubular 18 in contraste d with the gonads ; and it is interesting to 

 partial observe that in these circumstances the secondary 



aphroditism. characteristics — the distribution of hair on the body, 

 contour of the limbs and trunk, breasts, psychical 

 attributes, and the rest — are, almost invariably, of the 

 sex-character opposite to that of the gonads. This is 

 a well-known fact and one which explains why these 

 subjects are so frequently brought up as, and pass for, 

 members of the sex different from that indicated by the 

 gonads ; but it is a fact which has not been sufficiently 

 emphasized, as we shall see presently. 

 Tubular Another most interesting point is that the gonads, 



herm- m a ver y large proportion of all cases of tubular partial 



aphrodites hermaphroditism, are testicular in structure : the 

 male gonads. i Hart, Berry, Edin. Med. Journ., 1914, New Ser., vol. xiii, p. 295.
