ee rents were discovered, one
through the fourchette and two through the left nymphae. The
vagina was excessively congested and covered with points bleeding
on the slightest irritation. The patient confessed that one day
while playing with the genitals of a large dog she became excited
and thought she would have slight coitus. After the dog had made
an entrance she was unable to free herself from him, as he
clasped her so firmly with his fore legs. The penis became so
swollen that the dog could not free himself, although for more
than an hour she made persistent efforts to do so. (_Medical
Standard_, June, 1903, p. 184). In an Indiana case, concerning
which I was consulted, the girl was a hebephreniac who had
resorted to this procedure with a Newfoundland dog at the
instance of another girl, seemingly normal as regards mentality,
and had been badly injured; a discharge resulted which resembled
gonorrhoea, but contained no gonococci. These cases are probably
more frequent than is usually assumed."

Women are known to have had intercourse with various other
animals, occasionally or habitually, in various parts of the
world. Monkeys have been mentioned in this connection. Moll
remarks that it seems to be an indication of an abnormal interest

Near the Amazon the traveler Castelnau saw an enormous Coati
monkey belonging to an Indian woman and tried to purchase it;
though he offered a large sum, the woman only laughed. "Your
efforts are useless," remarked an Indian in the same cabin, "he
is her husband." (So far as the early literature of this subject
is concerned, a number of facts and fables regarding the congress
of women with dogs, goats and other animals was brought together
at the beginning of the eighteenth century by Schurig in his
_Gynaecologia_, Section II, cap. VII; I have not drawn on this
collection.)

In some cases women, and also men, find gratification in the
sexual manipulation of animals without any kind of congress. This
may be illustrated by an observation communicated to me by a
correspondent, a clergyman. "In Ireland, my father's house
adjoined the residence of an archdeacon of the established
church. I was then about 20 an
