Note 3 — I CIRCUMCISION AS A RELIGIOUS RITE.
Reading edition
In the Lancet of April 20, 1889, is figured a curious circumcising Instrument used by the Malays, who perform the rite upon boys at the age of eight years; and also upon females, about 1/8th inch being nipped off the extremity of the clitoris. In the ceremony performed on female children, variations exist; other tribes remove the nymphæ.
