_Zeitschrift fuer
Ethnologie_, 1891, Heft 3, p. 243), remarks that in these
respects Annie Jones resembles other "bearded women"; they marry,
have children, and are able to suckle them. A beard in women
seems, as Dupre and Duflos believe (_Revue Neurologique_, Aug.
30, 1901), to be more closely correlated with neuropathy than
with masculinity; comparing a thousand sane women with a thousand
insane women in Paris, they found unusual degree of hair or down
on the face in 23 per cent. of the former and 50 per cent. of the
latter; but even the sane bearded women frequently belonged to
neuropathic families.

A tendency to slight widely diffused hypertrichosis of the body
generally, not localized or highly developed on the face, seems
much more likely than a beard to be associated with masculinity,
even when it occurs in little girls. Thus Virchow once presented
to the Berlin Anthropological Society a little girl of 5 of this
type who also possessed a deep and rough voice (_Zeitschrift fuer
Ethnologie_, 1891, Heft 4, p. 469). A typical example of slight
hypertrichosis in a woman associated with general masculine
traits is furnished by a description and figure of the body of a
woman of 56 in an anatomical institute, furnished by C. Strauch
(_Zeitschrift fuer Ethnologie_, 1901, Heft 6, p. 534). In this
case there was a growth of hair around both nipples and a line of
hair extended from the pubes to the navel; both these two
dispositions of hair are very rare in women. (In Vienna among
nearly 700 women Coe only found a tendency to hair distribution
toward the navel in about 1 per cent.). While the hair in this
subject was otherwise fairly normal, there were many
approximations to the masculine type in other respects: the
muscles were strongly developed, the bones massive, the limbs
long, the joints powerful, the hands and feet large, the thorax
well developed, the lower jaw massive; there was an absence of
feminine curves on the body and the breasts were scarcely
perceptible. At the same time the genital organs were normal and
there had been childbirth. It was further notable that this woman
had committed suicide by self-strangulation, a rare method which
requires great resolution and strength of will, as at any moment
of the process the pressure can be removed.

There seems littl
