Dissection of an Hermaphrodite Dog. 17*1 
The glands which secrete milk, although in themselves not 
organs of generation, entirely belong to them, and form a part 
of the female character, sufficiently obvious to connect them 
intimately with the present subject. 
That an animal not a perfect female, should have glands 
which secrete milk, or indeed that an animal truly female, 
without having had young, should give milk, is so extraordi- 
nary, that even written evidence respecting it requires confirma- 
tion to entitle it to credit ; in this respect, the following fact must 
be considered as perfectly satisfactory. 
An instance of an hermaphrodite bull, whose udder secreted 
milk, occurred lately in Poland. The animal came into the pos- 
session of Mr. Brookes, who procured it near Grodno, in theyear 
1796, and carried it to St. Petersburg, where it died in the follow- 
ing year ; unfortunately, no examination was made after death. 
While the animal was at St. Petersburg, both Dr. Rogerson 
and Dr. Rogers had opportunities of examining it with a con- 
siderable degree of accuracy; and the following account is 
taken from their description, with which I have been favoured 
by Dr. Rogerson, who is now in London. 
The animal was under the usual size of neat cattle, and is stat- 
ed by Mr. Brookes to have been about fifteen years old ; it was 
in a weakly state, and Mr. Brookes told Dr. Rogerson, that he 
had much difficulty in making it bear the journey from Grodno, 
(a distance of about 800 miles) and was obliged to give it the 
most nourishing diet, which was principally ground malt. 
In its general appearance, the male character predominated, 
particularly in the head, horns, neck, shoulders, and organs of 
generation. The flanks and hind quarters had a greater re- 
semblance to those of the cow.
