Scientific paper

DURING the past four years, records have been kept of the state of pregnancy of a large number of rats and squirrels of various species collected and killed in connexion with scrub-typhus investigations. While studying the relation between rainfall and breeding season1, it was found that the rates of pregnancy of the nocturnal forest rats showed a bimonthly rhythm which appeared to be in phase with the moon, and which suggested that the greatest number of conceptions occurred near the time of full moon.
