whose right mamma,
in size and conformation, had the appearance of the well developed
breast of a full-grown woman. It was lobulated and had a large,
brown-colored areola; the nipple, however, was of the same size as that
on the left breast. The man stated that he first observed the breast to
enlarge at sixteen and a half years; since that time it had steadily
increased, but there was no milk at any time from the nipple; the
external genital organs were well and fully developed. He complained of
no pain or uneasiness except when in drilling aloft his breast came in
contact with the ropes.

Gruger of St. Petersburg divides gynecomazia into three classes:--

(1) That in which the male generative organs are normal;

(2) In which they are deformed;

(3) In which the anomaly is spurious, the breast being a mass of fat or
a new growth.

The same journal quotes an instance (possibly Morgan's case) in a young
man of twenty-one with a deep voice, excellent health, and genitals
well developed, and who cohabited with his wife regularly. When sixteen
his right breast began to enlarge, a fact that he attributed to the
pressure of a rope. Glandular substance could be distinctly felt, but
there was no milk-secretion. The left breast was normal. Schuchardt has
collected 272 cases of gynecomazia.

Instances of Men Suckling Infants.--These instances of gynecomazia are
particularly interesting when the individuals display ability to suckle
infants. Hunter refers to a man of fifty who shared equally with his
wife the suckling of their children. There is an instance of a sailor
who, having lost his wife, took his son to his own breast to quiet him,
and after three or four days was able to nourish him. Humboldt
describes a South American peasant of thirty-two who, when his wife
fell sick immediately after delivery, sustained the child with his own
milk, which came soon after the application to the breast; for five
months the child took no other nourishment. In Franklin's "Voyages to
the Polar Seas" he quotes the instance of an old Chippewa who, on
losing his wife in childbirth, had put his infant to his breast and
earnestly prayed that milk might flow; he was fortunate enough to
eventually produce enough milk to rear the child. The left breast, with
which he nursed, afterward retained its unusual size. According to
Mehliss some missionaries in Brazil in the sixteenth century asserted
that there was a whole Indian nation whose women h
