size, and general conditions of the male testicle. Placed within 
the folds of integument containing the testicle and enclosing the 
upper third of the sulcus were two smaller folds, the homologues 
of the labia minora in the female. 
» This description also answers for the brother. Of the girl not 
so much is known. What is known is as follows: At birth a 
very large clitoris was observed, so large that at first she was 
supposed to bea boy. Although dressed in female attire, she 
was retained at home, and it was not until about puberty that her 
sex was positively ascertained. Those who associated intimately 
with her frequently remarked that she ought to be in male at- 
tire. The subjects of this sketch are of good average ability, the 
boys being engaged in business, and the girl attending to her 
family duties satisfactorily. 
All are married, but without issue. 
The doubt as to the sex in these cases, extending through 
infancy and childhood up to adult age, with slow development of 
the genitalia, makes it of interest to the biologist.

The family in which these cases occurred consisted of six 
children. Three of them were indisputably females, as was 
subsequently verified by two of them bearing children, though 
the youngest was reported to be malformed, probably from the 
fact of her possessing an immense clitoris, and was masculine in 
appearance. The eldest girl married, but soon separated from 
her husband. I did not become professionally connected with 
the family until after the first children were born, and was present 
at the births of the two youngest only,—one a perfect male in 
every respect, the other also perfect, with the exception of the 
genitals, which were malformed. At first sight they were female 
organs, and the appearance was so perfect and deceptive that I 
did not give it a second thought until the nurse called my atten- 
tion to it. Examination revealed the following make-up of the 
parts: Two apparently perfect labia were divided by a deep 
sulcus, covered by the common skin, which grew deeper as it ran 
under the pubic arch, and took on more of the characteristics of
