the children, which were spread over twenty-one years. All are
normal, except F.R., two of them married and with families.

Owing to the difference of age between the children, F.R. (who
was three years younger than his elder brother, and more than
four years older than his sister, the third child) had no male
companionship and was constantly alone with his mother. "Being
naturally imitative," he remarks, "I think I acquired her tastes
and interests and habits of thought. However that may be, I feel
sure that my interests and amusements were more girlish than
boyish. By way of illustration, I may mention that I have often
been told by a friend of my mother's that, on one occasion, I was
wanting a new hat, and none being found of a size to fit me, I
congratulated myself that I should therefore be obliged to have a
_bonnet!_ As regards my feminine tastes and instincts, I have
always been conscious of taking interest in questions of family
relationships, etiquette, dress (women's as much as, or more

were treated with indifference or contempt. In the house I take
more notice than my sister does of the servants' deficiencies and
neglects, and am much more orderly in my arrangements than she
is."

There is nothing markedly feminine in the general appearance.
Pubertal development took place at an early age, long before
fourteen, with nocturnal emissions, but without erotic dreams.
The testicles are well developed, the penis perhaps rather below
the average in size, and the prepuce long and narrow. Erection
occurs with much facility, especially at night. When young he
knew nothing of masturbation, but he began the habit about ten
years ago, and has practised it occasionally ever since.

Although he likes the society of women to a certain extent, he
soon grows tired of it, and has never had any desire to marry.
His sexual dreams never have any relation to women. "I am
generally doing or saying something," he remarks, "to some man
whom I know when awake, something which I admit I might wish to
do or say if it were not quite out of the question on grounds of
propriety and self-respect."

He has, however, never had any intimate relationships with men,
and much that he has heard of such relationships fills him with
