Dissection of an Hermaphrodite Dog. 173 
states that a Iamb was nourished by the milk, and, when the 
teats were pressed, milk came out.* 
The other is on the testimony of Mr. Kirke, of Cookridge, in 
Yorkshire. He mentions, that Sir William Lowther had a 
lamb suckled by a wether. The lamb sucked during the whole 
summer, and, after it was weaned, milk could be pressed from 
the teats : each side of the udder was the size of an hen’s egg. 
This account is dated Sept. 28th, 1694. He gives a second 
relation, in November, stating that the udder was reduced in 
size, but there was still some milk in it, and no appearance of the 
animal being an hermaphrodite. -f 
A case is also recorded in the Philosophical Transactions, of 
a man giving suck to a child two months old ; J this, however, 
is not stated with sufficient accuracy to allow any stress being 
laid upon it, although it would have been improper not to 
have noticed it in this place. 
In considering the influence of the testicles upon the con- 
stitution of the male, which is rendered so evident by contrast- 
ing it with those cases in which the testicles are imperfect, it 
leads to a supposition, that the ovaria may have a similar in- 
fluence upon the constitution of the female ; and that, when 
the ovaria are imperfectly formed, or when testicles are sub- 
stituted for them, although the external parts are decidedly 
female, the person may grow up, deprived of that feminine 
character which the constitution would have acquired, if the 
ovaria had been capable of producing their influence on the 
body. To this cause may be attributed the unnatural bias which 
some women have shewn, to pass through life in the character
