Part 13

‘The Uterus and Cervix did not in the least differ from those of other Women, but there was a Difference in the Testes, for in this Subject they were thicker than in others, but their Situation was the same. There was no Scrotum at all, and the Penis had two Muscles, not four, as in perfect Men; besides, the Penis of this Hermaphrodite was covered with a thin Skin, but had no Præputium, &c.’

From which Words it is obvious, what was the Sex of this Subject, without any further Observations on it.

EXPLANATION OF TAB. I.

As Dr Douglas’s Plate only shews the Labia of the Parts of the Angolan Woman opened, it was necessary that a Figure of the same should precede it with the Labia shut or closed; that the Reader may the better understand, how easily the ignorant or superstitious might be deceived at the Sight of such Parts, when in the same Circumstances with this Subject, and the Labia Pudendorum not separated; of which the following is the Explanation, viz.

1. The Clitoris.

2. The Right Labium, which contains the Tumour.

3. The Left Labium in a natural State.

4. The Tumour above the Left Labium.

5. The two Labia below the Tumour near the Perinæum.
