Scientific paper

THOUGH several weeks have now elapsed since Dr. Hyde Clarke's inquiry about the effects of lucky and unlucky times and seasons upon the Indian birth-rate was published (in NATURE of July 26, p. 297), none of your readers in England who happen to be acquainted with India have come forward to answer it. I therefore write to point out that, though the times of Hindu marriages are to a very great extent controlled by supposed lucky or unlucky days, months, or years, these have nothing whatever to do with variations in the birth-rate, for the usual age of marriage of girls is from eight to ten years, and child-bearing at the earliest, does not commence before twelve or thirteen.
