penis the patient was able to produce a few millilitres of fluid from this orifice. This fluid did not contain any spermatozoa. Investigations.-Hb 96% ; E.S.R. 2 mm. in one hour; Wassermann reaction and Kahn test negative; 17-ketosteroids 10.4 mg. in 24 hours; buccal smear showed no Barr bodies. I.V.P.: no suggestion of prostatic indentation of urethra. Psychometry.-The Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory scales were within normal limits whether scored as a male or a female. The score on the Epstein test was within normal limits. Hle was diagnosed as having schizophrenia and his physical state as one of cryptorchidism with a gross hypospadias. This was later confirmed at operation. Hewas given no specific treatment, but after a few weeks he found himself a job with an engineering firm and left hospital, remaining in employment for 10 months. While in hospital he was referred for surgical opinion and subsequently had a series of operations ; firstly, for repair of a left inguinal hernia, and, secondly, for a plastic operation to enable him to urinate in a standing position. Since he left hospital he has shown more floridly schizophrenic symptoms. He believes that he is in communication with two people on Mars, and they are dictating a book on spiritualism to him. His communication with them is at times interrupted by other I"spirit voices," which sometimes swear at him or pass insulting remarks. He is undertaking a process of " spiritual cleansing" which requires him to bath as often as possible, and he spends much of his spare time in the bath. He does not speak of any of these ideas other than during psychiatric interview, but then it is difficult to interrupt the flow of his ideas. So far his delusions have not interfered with his work, though his employers describe him as slow and lacking in initiative. He feels extremely well and can see no reason for taking any form of medication. His mental condition has remained unchanged since his plastic operation, but his mood has been one of mild elation since he was first referred for a surgical opinion, and he was grateful for the operation enabling him to urinate standing up. Until his admission he had never sought medical help for this problem.
