ABNORMALITIES IN ANIMALS. 559 
skin a slender muscle was found lying along the lineci alba , 
from the perineal region to the umbilicus, where it bifurcated, 
the two parts running forward to be attached to the fascia of 
the pectoral muscles. The muscle appears to represent the 
retractor and protractor muscles of ruminants. The two 
slit-like inguinal openings, situated cephalad of Poupart’s lig¬ 
ament, were about two inches long and through the posterior 
part of which hung the testicles; these had long cremaster 
muscles, were relatively well supplied with blood, and were 
normal except in size. The mammary arteries accompanied 
these muscles through the inguinal openings, and were dis 
tributed in the substance of the small mammary glands. 
The urinary bladder appeared normal, but the urethra did 
not traverse a penis, being in this respect like that of the 
female. Its external opening was situated at the upper angle 
of the vulva, and the entire canal was only three inches in 
length. The urethra was in the position of the vagina of the 
female and surrounded at its middle by a well developed 
musculus accelerator urince. 
On the dorsal aspect of the bladder, the seminal vesicles 
were found, each about two and one-half inches in length, and 
one-fifth inch in diameter; each was in communication with 
its corresponding testicle by a well developed vas deferens. 
The prostate gland was present bound to the wall of the 
urethra. 
Microscopical examination was made, but it failed to re 
veal spermatozoa in the seminal vesicles. 
The most profound malformation occurred in the penis. 
Immediately below, not surrounding, the urethra was the 
corpus spongiosum ; it ended in a glans which projected about 
half an inch from the vulva, appearing like a clitoris. (Since 
the organ was not traversed by the urethra, it might prop¬ 
erly be called a clitoris, but as the primary sexual characters 
were distinctly those of a male, I will call it glans penis'). 
The total length of the corpus spongiosum was, perhaps, five 
inches, but as it was folded several times it appeared much 
shorter. Its origin was difficult to make out, but appeared to 
connect with the accelerator urinse. Two very small erector
