Summary On cytologic material of 212 normal newborn and female children in early childhood, 146 premenarche individuals whose actual onset of menstruation was ascertained by their available menstrual history, and of 922 adolescent patients with various disturbances of their menstrual cycles, the authors examined the cytologic patterns found. The study emphasizes the usefulness of cytologic examination of the young female individual for the evaluation of her endocrinologic condition.
