Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER VI
290/293

In one case a monorchid generated a cryptorchid child.

Some of the cryptorchids were effeminate, although others were manly with good evidences of a beard.

The morbid, hypochondriac, the voluptuous, and the imbecile all found a place in Johnson's statistics; and although there are evidences of the possession of the generative function, still, we are compelled to say that the chances are against fecundity of human cryptorchids.

In this connection might be quoted the curious case mentioned by Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire, of a soldier who was hung for rape.

It was alleged that no traces of testicles were found externally or internally yet semen containing spermatozoa was found in the seminal vesicles.
