*7° Mr. Home’s Account of the 
very accurate description, by M. Petit, of a similar mixture of 
organs in the human species. The person had wholly the cha- 
racter of a man, but was of a delicate constitution ; he was a 
■ » 
soldier, and died of his wounds. The appearance of the penis is 
passed over ; but the scrotum, not containing testicles, drew M. 
Petit’s attention ; and, in the dissection, he found testicles in 
the situation of the ovaria, attached to two processes, continued 
from an imperfect vagina, but having vasa deferentia, which 
passed, in the usual manner, to the vesiculae seminales. The 
vagina communicated with the urethra, between the neck of 
the bladder and the prostate gland. 
A case of mixed organs is mentioned in Dr. Baillie’s Morbid 
Anatomy : the person was twenty-four years of age, had the 
breasts of a woman, and no beard. The clitoris and meatus 
urinarius had the natural appearance, but there were no 
nymphse, and the labia pudendi w r ere unusually pendulous, 
containing a testicle in each of them. The vagina was nearly 
two inches long, and terminated in a blind end. She never 
menstruated, and had a masculine appearance. 
This appears to have been the reverse of the case mentioned 
by M. Petit: in this, the external parts were those of the 
female, in which were contained the testicles ; while, in the 
other, the internal parts were those of the female, with the tes- 
ticles attached to them. 
There is still another mixture of the organs of the female 
Avith those of the male, which is probably the most rare in its 
occurrence; this is, an hermaphrodite bull, probably a free- 
martin, partaking so much of the bull as to have the male or- 
gans capable of propagating the species, and an udder capable 
of secreting milk.
