Selous (Zoologist, May and Sept., 1901) on a bird, the Great Crested Grebe; after pairing, the male would crouch to the female, who played his part to him; the same thing is found among pigeons. Selous suggests that this is a relic of primitive hermaphroditism. But it may be remembered that in the male generally s.e.xual intercourse tends to be more exhausting than in the female; this fact would favor a reversion of their respective parts.

This has now been very thoroughly done by Prof. F. Karsch-Haack in a large book, Das Gleichgeschlechtliche Leben der Naturvolker, 1911. An earlier and shorter study by the same author was published in the Jahrbuch fur s.e.xuelle Zwischenstufen, Bd. iii, 1901.

Beardmore also notes that sodomy is "regularly indulged in" in New Guinea on this account. (Journal of the Anthropological Inst.i.tute, May, 1890, p. 464.)

I have been told by medical men in India that it is specially common among the Sikhs, the finest soldier-race in India.

Among the Sarts of Turkestan a cla.s.s of well-trained and educated h.o.m.os.e.xual prost.i.tutes, resembling those found in China and many regions of northern Asia, bearing also the same name of batsha, are said to be especially common because fostered by the scarcity of women through polygamy and by the women's ignorance and coa.r.s.eness. The inst.i.tution of the batsha is supposed to have come to Turkestan from Persia. (Herman, "Die Paderastie bei den Sarten," s.e.xual-Probleme, June, 1911.) This would seem to suggest that Persia may have been a general center of diffusions of this kind of refined h.o.m.os.e.xuality in northern Asia.

In Lah.o.r.e and Lucknow, as quoted by Burton, Daville describes "men dressed as women, with flowing locks under crowns of flowers, imitating the feminine walk and gestures, voice and fas.h.i.+on of speech, ogling their admirer with all the coquetry of bayaderes."

Rev. J. H. Weeks, Journal Anthropological Inst.i.tute, 1909, p. 449. I am informed by a medical correspondent in the United States that inversion is extremely prevalent among American negroes. "I have good reason to believe," he writes, "that it is far more prevalent among them than among the white people of any nation. If inversion is to be regarded as a penalty of 'civilization' this is remarkable. Perhaps, however, the Negro, relatively to his capacity, is more highly civilized than we are; at any rate his civilization has been thrust upon him, and not acquired through the long throes of evolution. Colored inverts desire white men as a rule, but are not averse to men of their own race. I believe that 10 per cent, of Negroes in the United States are s.e.xually inverted."
