in another, one and seven-eighths inches; and, in a third, one and a
quarter inches. Recollecting that the normal measurement is from two
and a half to three inches, it appears that the arrest of development
in these cases occurred when the uterus was half or less than half
grown. Liberal education should avoid such errors.

[16] According to the biblical account, woman was formed by
subtracting a rib from man. If, in the evolution of the future, a
third division of the human race is to be formed by subtracting sex
from woman,--a retrograde development,--I venture to propose the term
agene (+a+ without, +genos+ sex) as an appropriate designation for the
new development. Count Gasparin prophesies it thus: "Quelque chose de
monstreux, cet être répugnant, qui déjà parait à notre horizon," a
free translation of Virgil's earlier description:--

"Monstrum horrendum, informe, ingens, cui lumen ademtum." _3d, 658
line_.
