Scientific paper

THE belief in a connexion between sexual periodicity and the moon is very ancient1. In particular, it is commonly thought that there is some connexion between the moon and menstruation. De Lee2 stated, without giving any evidence, that the majority of women menstruate during the new moon, thus associating the periodicity with the synodical lunar month of 29.55 days. Arrhenius3 concluded from data of nearly 12,000 menstruations that there is a slight tropical lunar rhythm of 27.32 days, and that the average duration of the menstrual cycle is just under 27 days.
