ed side by side, each attached at
its root to the symphysis. Their covering of skin was common as far as
the base of the glans; at this point they seemed distinct and perfect,
but the meatus of the left was imperforate. The right meatus was
normal, and through it most of the urine passed, though some always
dribbled through an opening in the perineum at a point where the root
of the scrotum should have been. On lifting the double-barreled penis
this opening could be seen and was of sufficient size to admit the
finger. On the right side of the aperture was an elongated and rounded
prominence similar in outline to a labium majus. This prominence
contained a testicle normal in shape and sensibility, but slightly
undersized, and surrounded, as was evident from its mobility, by a
tunica vaginalis. The left testicle lay on the tendon of the adductor
longus in the left groin; it was not fully developed, but the patient
had sexual desires, erections, and emissions. Both penises became
erect simultaneously, the right more vigorously. The left leg was
shorter than the right and congenitally smaller; the mammae were of
normal dimensions.

Sangalli speaks of a man of thirty-five who had a supernumerary penis,
furnished with a prepuce and capable of erection. At the apex of the
glans opened a canal about 12 cm. long, through which escaped monthly a
serous fluid. Smith mentions a man who had two penises and two
bladders, on one of which lithotomy was performed. According to
Ballantyne, Taruffi, the scholarly observer of terata, mentions a child
of forty-two months and height of 80 cm. who had two penises, each
furnished with a urethra and well-formed scrotal sacs which were
inserted in a fold of the groin. There were two testicles felt in the
right scrotum and one in the left. Fecal evacuations escaped through
two anal orifices. There is also another case mentioned similar to the
foregoing in a man of forty; but here there was an osseous projection
in the middle line behind the bladder. This patient said that erection
was simultaneous in both penises, and that he had not married because
of his chagrin over his deformity. Cole speaks of a child with two
well-developed male organs, one to the left and the other to the right
of the median line, and about 1/4 or 1/2 inch apart at birth. The
urethra bifurcated in the perineal region and sent a branch to each
penis, and urine passed from each meatus. The scrotum was divided into
three c
