A stillbirth (full term) with congenital anomalies which was born to exposed parents is described above. Tables 5 and 6 show the incidence of miscarriages andbirths in the exposed and comparison populations on a yearly basis and for the two 5-year periods. The data on miscarriages and stillbirths in the Utirik population were notreliable. PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS The majorfindings on physical examinationsare listed in Table 7 for the adults and Table 13 for 9665660 the children. Appendix 7 contains findings on each individual adult and Appendix 8 contains such information on eachchild. Adult Examinations Table 7 does not show anysignificant difference in the abnormalities recorded between the exposed and the comparison populations. The exposed group did show a higherincidenceof severe arteriosclerosis, which maybea reflection of the greater percentage of older people in this group. There wasa slightly increased occurrenceofcervical erosion and laceration in the exposed women. The ex-
