title: Clustering of twin births in space and time.
abstract: Out of a total of 1025 twin births occurring in 11 South Moravian districts from 1972 to 1976, 638 occurred in the same time and space interval (P = 0.00037). The observed clustering suggests the existence of environmental factors influencing twinning rates.
