 same general head of the International Classification has 

 the general title "Other causes peculiar to early infancy 

 (total)." This term contains two unnumbered sub-

 other ' 4 Other causes peculiar to early infancy. ' ' 



The question at once arises, why should these two items 

 "Premature birth" and "Injuries at birth" be included 

 with the primary and secondary sex organs, since it is

 if not all, have nothing whatever the matter with either 

 their primary or secondary sex organs. The answer is,
