Students of the problem of sex differences in intelligence will be indebted to Mackintosh and Flynn for providing useful further clarification of the issue of sex differences in intelligence. I have little to say about Flynn's paper except to note that it confirms my thesis that among adults males have a small advantage over females in abstract reasoning ability. Mackintosh and I have some common ground but there remain substantial disagreements.

Murphy et al. (1997) showed age-standardised twinning rates for Scotland and England & Wales 1952–94. The rates declined to a value of about 9·2 per 1000 around 1978–81 and subsequently increased to about 11·5 per 1000 in 1992–94. The authors conclude their paper with the words: 'perhaps 15% of twins nationally now follow treatment and the natural twinning rate might still be in decline'.

Rao & DeMaris (1995) suggest that when age is controlled, cohabiting partners have higher coital rates than married partners. Their sample was restricted to couples whose relationships were of 5 years' duration or less. This restriction, according to the authors 'circumvents the confounding problem of age with duration of relationship'.
