neither mouth nor digestive apparatus; one finds two, three, or four of them on each female. Darwin calls them complementary males.' (Gide, Corydon, p. 55)

On the actual scale of evolution, the tendency of nature is to generate monosexual individuals, with the sole purpose, remarks Lester Ward, of crossing the hereditary germs" (cited by Gide, p. 51). But this destruction of the opposite sexuality has not yet been completed. Krafft-Ebing indicates the following point; 'Just as the appendix vermiform of the cecum reveals ancient stages of organization, so they are found also in the sexual apparatus of man and woman, an abstraction drawn from the mal formations of hermaphroditism (that is, as the partial expression of the excess of development or the arrested formation of the sexual canals and the external genitals). These traces denote the original ontogenetic and phylogenetic bi-sexuality."

'There are in man the prostatic utricle (remains of the canals of Muller) and also the nipples; in woman the paroophoron and the epoophoron... (Psychopathia Sexualis, p. 728)

Other clinical and anthropological facts support the hypothesis that besides the bi-sexual predisposition of the sexual apparatus there exists also a cerebral predisposition. Krafft-Ebing notes that many persons offer mixed sexual characteristics, especially those in whom the secondary sexual characteristics approach more or less those of the opposite sex.

Steinach thinks that he has even found in the testicles of homosexual men cells which are not found in those of the heterosexuals. He calls them F cells because they resemble certain cells found in the ovary of the woman. This hypothesis is rejected by other histologists. (See Krafft-Ebing, loc. cit., p. 727)

That which is established is that man possesses bisexual dispositions. There is inborn in all human beings that which Sainte-Beuve calls 'that gentle caprice of

nature.

One knows the force of the sexual impulse in the animal. In the male it dominates the most powerful individual tendencies: hunger, thirst, and fear. 'The toad,' writes L. Bonnoure 'Which enters into the nuptial season in a state of complete starvation, upon emerging from a long period of hibernation, does not eat anything before sacriOne has seen roosters ficing to the needs of the species.
