Nothing external of the male's parts of generation is to be seen, while they remain in their natural relaxed state. The penis enveloped in its propuce is hid within the verge of the anus. When drawn out, it is about an inch and a half long, flattened horizontally, and broadest at the point, which has a pretty large and well defined double head corresponding to its [indecipherable] body, both of which are covered with aculeated papillae that point inwards and gradually diminish in size as they approach the root. A longitudinal narrow smooth line divides the upper superfice of the double head, and terminates between two obtuse points in each of which there is an orifice opening obliquely outwards, and forming an angle with the body. These orifices are not be seen, nor is the structure immediately surrounding them, which in a collapsed state - being retracted within a capsule, the mouth of which shuts over them. The surrounding structure is composed of aculeated pupilla, generally four or five, which, having their points in contact appear like one. Their base is surrounded by a smooth red circle which is within the capsule. When the papilla are drawn out and separated, a central point is exposed, in which I conclude their is an orifice, although no entrance could be found with the finest hogs bristle.
The testa are situated in the groins imbedded in cellular membrane. They are of a kidney shape, and in size near that of a horse bean. From their lower ends are sent off the vasa deferentia which run directly down and penetrate the penis within the abdomen about half an inch from its exit and just where it is grasped by a gland which resembles the prostate in man. Through these tubes, which are continued along the penis, hogs bristles may be past
