The gonads of 107 spontaneous, chromosomal mosaic, day-15 fetal hermaphrodites derived from BALB/cWt strain male mice are described and photographs of seven gonads representative of the major types are presented. There were 16 ovaries, 15 testes, and 183 ovotestes. The ovotestes contained on the average more testicular tissue than ovarian, and the ovarian tissue was more frequently located at the gonad poles, particularly the craniad pole. There was no difference between left and right sides with regard to gonad type, but more pure gonads were found on the left than on the right side (21/10), Meioses were observed throughout the ovarian tissue and also in some testicular cords, particularly in the caudad pole of the gonad. Some meiotic figures contained sex vesicles. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to several aspects of sex determination.
描述了来自BALB/cWt品系雄性小鼠的107只自发的、染色体镶嵌的15日龄胎儿雌雄同体的性腺，并展示了代表主要类型的7个性腺的照片。有16个卵巢、15个睾丸和183个卵睾。卵睾平均含有比卵巢更多的睾丸组织，并且卵巢组织更频繁地位于性腺两极，特别是头侧极。性腺类型在左右两侧之间没有差异，但左侧发现的纯性腺比右侧多（21/10）。在整个卵巢组织以及一些睾丸索中都观察到了减数分裂，特别是在性腺的尾侧极。一些减数分裂图像含有性泡。结合性别决定的几个方面讨论了这些发现的意义。
