Dissection of an Hermaphrodite Dog. 167 
fat; no penis; a preputium one-sixth of an inch long; and under 
it the meatus urinarius, but no vagina. There was an imperfect 
scrotum, with a smooth surface, without a rapha in the middle, 
but, in its place, an indented line ; it contained two testicles, of 
the size they are met with in the foetus. He was very dull and 
heavy, almost an idiot, but could walk and talk : he began to 
walk at a year and a half old. 
The younger one was six years old, uncommonly fat, and 
large for his age; more an idiot than the other, not having 
sense enough to learn to walk, although his limbs were not 
defective. The external parts of generation differed in nothing 
from those just described, except in the prepuce being an inch 
long. He had a supernumerary finger on each hand, and a su- 
pernumerary toe on each foot. 
It is curious that the mother of these two children, so like 
in their imperfections, should have had a perfectly formed child 
between them; and it leads me to mention, that the Polish 
dwarf, Count Boruwlaski, who was in England in 1786, stated, 
that in his family the children had been alternately dwarfs, of 
which there were two, him and his sister; the intermediate 
child having grown to the common size. 
The immense accumulation of fat, and the uncommon size 
of these children, accords with the disposition to become fat, so 
commonly met with in the free-martin. 
The species of malformation of the organs of generation in 
which there is really a mixture of parts, or an evident attempt 
towards it, is less common than those we have mentioned. 
Mr. Hunter has given several instances of it in the neat cattle, 
where the mixture of male and female organs was in different 
degrees. , In two free-martins, imperfect testicles were found in
