Maternal recovery was normal in192 cases, on the eighth day, while recovery was slightly delayed in eightcases. Lactation was normal in 1 70 instances and delayed in 30. * * * There were 80 primiparae and 110 multiparae in the series. 190external and 180 internal lacerations were repaired under nitrous oxide-oxygenanaesthesia.
