A parallel case in this country was that of Dr. James Barry, whose name may be found in Hart's Army List for the year 1865, at the head of the list of Inspectors-General of Hospitals. The death of Dr. Barry occurred in July of that year, and on the following day it was officially re- ported to the Horse Guards that Dr. the doctor was a woman.'
