N. The bones of anorchids are smooth and graceful. (Observations 
A9,B1, Cl, C2,C3, (40)). 
O. The skin of anorchids is glabrous, except in cases of post-pubertial 
onset. 
P. In many, if not in all cases, of anorchidism the skin is freckled and 
pigmented. 
In conclusion, I desire to express my indebtedness to Mr W. Gill for 
the great care with which he cleaned the bones of the skeletons of subjects 
A 9 and A 10, for his excellent microscopical preparations of the tissues 
specially examined, and for taking the photographs which illustrate this 
paper.
