“…It may have originated with Matthews Duncan (1866), but in fact his figures showed the calculated percentage of women in various age groups delivered of their first living child within two years of marriage, the overall figure being 71.33%. Russell (1946) found that 85% of married women became pregnant within a year of uncontracepted intercourse; while Diddle, Jack, and Pearse (1947) gave a figure of 86% within one year and 95.4% within two years, although admittedly from a selected sample of Service men and their wives. In France the figure of 90% within two years has been given by Palmer (1950).…”

EVENTS OF THE PRIMATE OVARIAN CYCLE BR 4 cians of the opportunities they will have to help solve the problems of ovarian function. The basic outline of the human cycle has been worked out, and it can be understood in relation to the general pattern of mammalian reproduction. Its time-schedule is fairly well known statistically. Much has been learned about the endocrine factors that control cyclic events. Because we have gone so far it is becoming possible to study some of the major variations and abnormalities of the cycle in individuals, with the hope of relieving the distress and suffering that so often attend them. More and more this investigation will have to be carried on in the consulting-room, the operating theatre, and the hospital laboratory, but it calls for workers who know the biology of the cycle.This word to the clinicians is the first half of my peroration. Let me finish it in the spirit of Thomas Henry Huxley's broad curiosity about mankind's place in nature. Comparing the human cycle with that of other primates, we find that human ovarian functions operate through similar anatomical structures and' follow the general primate pattern. In this respect our race is simply another simian species; and yet, passing upwatd through the primate line we find an increasing domination of nervous and mental processes in the control of reproductive behaviour. This trend reaches its height in mankind. Possessing a generalized animal body with a highly specialized brain, our species has grown into a realm beyond the merely animal in which we not only undergo the cycles and fluctuations of animal life but also seek to understand and to direct them; a realm where sex and reproduction are at their best bound up with reason, and a sense of beauty, and human affection.

“…Thus 87.7% of 162 primigravidae had conceived within a year of marriage. Diddle et al (1947), working among families in the U.S. armed Forces at Key West, Florida, surveyed 1,192 women, of whom 799 were pregnant. Of these latter, 261 were primigravidae about whom there were full data, including coital rates.…”
