ABSTRACT
I must apologise for what I feel to be a misleading title chosen for reasons of brevity and economy of effort in the framing of notices; for, what I have to put before you today are only very fragmentary data, and suggestions of a peculiarly obscure subject. They have, however, this validity; that they are the result of close and careful observation, conducted so far as I am consciously aware, without any prejudice, though they would probably be much more illuminating had they been recorded by an observer who was herself entirely or predominantly homosexual. I hope that the endless omissions will be to some extent supplied by comment and criticism, from our members, in the course of debate.
