Now as the Fœtus increases in a natural Way, the neighbouring Parts of the Pudenda grow more in Proportion than the Clitoris, drawing away the Integuments, whereby it becomes by Degrees less conspicuous; but when it continues it’s Growth, together with the rest, maintaining it’s first proportional Size, the Person is reported to be an Hermaphrodite; the natural Structure of this Part being in a great Measure like that of a Penis virilis. Nor is it’s Largeness in a Fœtus much to be wondered at, since there are other very similar Cases in the same Body, as the Gland _Thymus_ and _Glandulæ Renales_; nor is it, indeed, any more wonder to find it’s Growth increased, when once continued till a little after Birth; because Erections of that Part begin very early in Children, which, protruding the Integuments, increase their Relaxation, and thereby remove all Obstacles to it’s Luxuriancy. First then in viewing the Parts from above downwards, the Clitoris appears very large in Proportion to the Size of the Subject, and juts out in the Place which is always the Seat of that Part, according to Nature. It is circumscribed round the Root chiefly, on the upper Side, by a Ridge of the common Cutis, which reaches from one Side, continued with the Labium to the other. The Præputium, indeed, is not to be well distinguished, because of the Minuteness of the Fœtus; however it shews very plainly, that a Continuation of the common Skin of the Clitoris is lapped round the Substance of this Part, and meeting at the very Extremity on the under Side, forms an Angle, from which the Nymphæ arise in an equal Point, and are inserted also on the Sides of the Orificium Vaginæ, being very large and conspicuous. What appears to be a Rima or Slit in the Extremity of the Clitoris, in the Opinions of many, is no other than the Angle made by the Plication of the two Nymphæ where they arise, which undoubtedly is always the natural Case, and no other, in every Subject of this Nature. The Labia are like those of any other female Child, continuing from the Ridge round the Clitoris, and terminating regularly in the _Perinæum_, being somewhat more protuberant at their middle than at either their Origination or Insertion. The Vagina is in a natural State, and as for the Meatus Urinarius, it is too minute in this Fœtus to have any Observation made of it. This is all that is necessary to be said of it by way of Description; but I have subjoined the two following Figures of the Parts of Generation of this _Fœtus_, in order to make the Observation on them still more obvious and plain, which I have done something larger than the Life, in due Proportion, because a Drawing of the same Size with the Subject would be too small for Explanation; but have, at the same time, taken the utmost care not to digress from the Truth in the least, in order to favour any particular Fancy whatsoever.
