The two most obvious changes in the eunuch are the absence of the beard and mustache and the small larynx, which produces a high-pitched voice. In both these respects man differs from woman; in both, however, the eunuch is like the boy as much as he is like the woman. It is not evident, therefore, whether the eunuch has retained the juvenile condition or has become more like the female. Moreover, there is the possibility that there is no difference in the present case between these two conditions. The distribution of hair on the pubis of the eunuch is often said to be more like that in the woman than that in the man, but there is apparently no sufficient evidence to show that this is more than the juvenile condition or an undeveloped condition of the male. As to the voice, there is no way of determining whether the voice of the eunuch is feminine or juvenile. The development of the mammæ in the eunuch would be a better test, but it does not appear from the literature on the subject that the mammary glands and the nipples of the eunuch are changed toward the female type. On the contrary, it appears rather that there is no such change. It is true that the tendency toward the accumulation of fat may give the eunuch a somewhat feminine appearance (since one of the foci of fat accumulation is in the region of the breasts), but this in itself can scarcely be claimed to be feminization, but due rather to the more slothful habit of the eunuch that tends to obesity. A more suggestive resemblance is found in the narrowness of the shoulder girdle and broadness of the hips in the eunuch, but even these resemblances to the female should be regarded skeptically, since other changes in the bones that result from castration are certainly not a development toward the female type, but a peculiar specific effect of the absence of testes on the growth of the bones. For instance, the bones of the arms and legs are much longer in the eunuch than in either the normal man or woman, in fact, more in the direction of the male, who has longer legs than the female. The explanation usually given is that the ossification at the ends of the bones and of the epiphyses does not take place so soon as in normal men and women. The condition here is that characteristic of the juvenile state that is carried over into the adult, but whether the narrowness of the chest and shoulder girdle of the eunuch is correlated in some way with the more prolonged growth of the other bones has not, so far as I know, been determined. That there is no _apparent_ connection between the shortness of the one and the greater length of the other does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that there is no such connection. For the present I think we must hold this point in reserve.
