Whaley, in speaking of this case, said Mrs.B. utilized her outside legs for walking; he also remarks that when he informed her that she was pregnant on the left side she replied, "I think you are mistaken; if it had been on my right side I would come nearer believing it;"-- and after further questioning he found, from the patient's observation, that her right genitals were almost invariably used for coitus.
Bechlinger of Para, Brazil, describes a woman of twenty-five, a native of Martinique, whose father was French and mother a quadroon, who had a modified duplication of the lower body.
There was a third leg attached to a continuation of the processus coceygeus of the sacrum, and in addition to well developed mammae regularly situated, there were two rudimentary ones close together above the pubes.
There were two vaginae and two well-developed vulvae, both having equally developed sensations.
The sexual appetite was markedly developed, and coitus was practised in both vaginae.
