Note K — Chapter VIII · THE FUNCTIONS OF THE FEMALE GENITAL ORGANS

The Bartholinian gland, not being under muscular control, an ejaculatory discharge of its contents would seem to be impossible. Still in a patient, a married lady of 35 years, after a protracted contact stimulation of the external genitals the author observed an ejaculation-like discharge from the left gland, resembling the flow from an hypodermic syringe under pressure. In four other cases, the only ones in which the author had the opportunity to observe the Bartholinian glands in action, the secretion appeared in small drops, slowly oozing out from the pin-head-like orifices.
