1. Intra-abdominal Cryptorchids are those that have one or 
both testicles in the abdominal cavity. 
2. Extra-abdominal Cryptorchids are those that have one or 
both testicles in the inguinal canal, somewhere between the inter¬ 
nal and external inguinal rings. The inguinal canal being from 
15 cm. to 20 cm. in length, gives rise to a number of secondary 
classifications. Some are located near the internal inguinal 
ring ( supra-inguinal ) and sometimes only partly in the ring- 
others are in the canal between the rings ( inter-inguinal ) ; and 
occasionally some are classed as cryptorchids that have the tes¬ 
ticle in the external inguinal ring ( supra-scrotal ) and above 
the scrotum. 
Each of the above cryptorchids can be classed according to 
their development of the testicle. 
1. Orchidauxe. 
2. Orchidion. 
3. Orchidatonia. 
1. Orchidauxe is a condition frequently observed in intra¬ 
abdominal cryptorchids, which generally results from diseases, 
such as tumors, cysts or oedema. 
2. Orchidion is a small atrophied testicle. This condition 
of the testicle is usually found when it is located in the inguinal 
canal. 
3. Orchidatonia. —This condition is marked by a loss of 
tonicity of the testicle which may result from oedema, cysts or 
any degeneration of the body of the glands ; and is frequently 
observed in cryptorchids. 
Classification of pathological lesions common to cryptor¬ 
chids : 
1. Orchidospongeoma. 
2. Orchidoncus. 
3. Varicocele. 
4. (Edema. 
5. Hydrocele. 
6. Cysts. 
1. Orchidospongeoma is a tubercular tumefaction of the tes¬ 
ticle, a condition not common in lower animals, but one that 
might be found in the bovine and porcine species. We have
