f the
ampallang she would prefer by leaving at a particular spot a
cigarette of that length. Miklucho-Macleay considers that these
instruments were invented by women. Brooke Low remarks that "no
woman once habituated to its use will ever dream of permitting
her bedfellow to discontinue the practice of wearing it," and
Stevens states that at one time no woman would marry a man who
was not furnished with such an apparatus. It may be added that a
very similar appliance may be found in European countries
(especially Germany) in the use of a condom furnished with
irregularities, or a frill, in order to increase the woman's
excitement. It is not impossible to find evidence that, in
European countries, even in the absence of such instruments, the
craving which they gratify still exists in women. Thus, Mauriac
tells of a patient with vegetations on the glans who delayed
treatment because his mistress liked him so best (art.
"Vegetations," _Dictionnaire de Medecine et Chirurgie pratique_).

It may seem that such impulses and such devices to gratify them
are altogether unnatural. This is not so. They have a zooelogical
basis and in many animals are embodied in the anatomical
structure. Many rodents, ruminants, and some of the carnivora
show natural developments of the penis closely resembling some of
those artificially adopted by man. Thus the guinea-pigs possess
two horny styles attached to the penis, while the glans of the
penis is covered with sharp spines. Some of the Caviidae also have
two sharp, horny saws at the side of the penis. The cat, the
rhinoceros, the tapir, and other animals possess projecting
structures on the penis, and some species of ruminants, such as
the sheep, the giraffe, and many antelopes, have, attached to the
penis, long filiform processes through which the urethra passes.

We find, even in creatures so delicate and ethereal as the
butterflies, a whole armory of keen weapons for use in coitus.
These were described in detail in an elaborate and fully
illustrated memoir by P.H. Gosse ("On the Clasping Organs
Ancillary to Generation in Certain Groups of the Lepidoptera,"
_Transactions of the Linnaean Society_, second series, vol. ii,
Zooelogy, 1882). These organs, which Gosse terms _harpes_ (o
