DURING the past yeas my colleagues and I have treated 703 cases in the Glasgow Maternity Hospital, and in this number we have had to deal with 98 cases of contracted pelvis. This is certainly an extraordinary proportion, viz., about 1 in 7, and it does not by any means include all, but only those in which there was difficulty in delivery. The slighter forms, where delivery was effected by nature, are not counted. In the following paper I purpose giving notes of the cases of induction of labour, symphysiotomy, and CEsaxean section, which were done during the six months in which I was in charge of the hospital. With one excleption they were all cases of rickety pelves. The results as regards both mothers and children can be contrasted, and an idea can be formed of the relative value of the operations.
