The seminal ducts were found separated by numerous round or fusi- form cells. Parrot and Hutinel have especially studied syphilitic testicles in new-born children. Hutinel's investigations are based upon ten cases. The testicles are slightly enlarged, and harder than normal, the scrotum is pendent, the epididymis is normal, the lesions of the tunica albuginea are very slight, and at times there is found a little exudate upon the tunica vaginalis, a few lymph cells in a reticulum of fibrin. Both testicles are similarly changed, and more uniformly altered](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2151852x_0422.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
