Axenfeld and Huchard, Traité des Névroses, 1883, pp. 1092-94. Icard (La Femme pendant la Période Menstruelle, pp. 120-21) has also referred to recorded cases of hysteria in animals (Coste's and Peter's cases), as has Gilles de la Tourette (op. cit., vol. i, p. 123). See also, for references, Féré, L'Instinct Sexuel, p. 59.
