Techniques that are now readily available allow the clinician to approach the patient with the possibility of something more than prognostic statements. No more lucid guide through the complexities of the differential diagnosis of abnormalities of the sexual apparatus is obtainable than this small volume.

The thrust of this volume is primarily didactic; it prunes away confusion and catagorizes, classifies, and gives heuristic significance to the clinical problem.Two short chapters on sexual differentiation and cellular division are followed by a perceptive SN - 0003-9926 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archinte.1968.00300060087025 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archinte.1968.00300060087025 ER -
