4) To relate semen quality to the medical history of the individual. The conditions of this study are presented in detail in the first paper of this series which dealt with ejaculate volume. 1 It was shown that the mean ejaculate volume for 800 men of known fertility was 3.33 cc in contrast to that of 3.59 cc for 600 men in" infertile" marriage. The" infertile" mean was significantly higher, the difference being due, in great part, to the" infertile" men whose semen quality was poorest.We now have completed the analysis of 1000 men in each group (fertile and" infertile"). Before passing to discussion of the sperm counts in these individuals, we believe it appropriate to present a brief summary of the volume figures for 1000 fertile and 1000" infertile" men. These figures are presented in detail in figure 1 which shows the relative frequency distributions of semen volume. As would be expected, these distributions are quite similar to those presented previously for smaller groups. The mean volume for 1000 (not shown in fig. 1) fertile men is 3.4 cc.(SD*= 1.9) and 3.7 cc (SD= 1.7) for 1000" infertile" men. The difference is significant. As in the previous analysis, the highest ejaculate volumes in the" infertile" group are associated with the poorest semen specimens as measured by sperm counts. We shall discuss this relationship later in detail.
