The frequency of living twins born in Southern Moravia in the period 1960-1970 was studied and found to be 0.67%. No differences in twinning rate due to the years, seasons, districts or towns with 10,000 and more inhabitants in comparison with other localities, were found. An interesting hitherto undescribed phenomenon of twin-birth clustering in space and time was observed.
