Spontaneous rotation occurs in the majority of cases, but the second stage is often prolonged and in one third of the cases rotation does not take place until the vertex reaches the pelvic floor. In about 5% of cases rotation does not occur and a persistent occipito-posterior position results. The authors recommend awaiting spontaneous rotation, but if this does not occur at the end of two hours in the second stage of labour, they recommend an attempt at manual rotation and forceps delivery. IT this fails an attempt at forceps rotation should be made, and if this is unsuccessful Cresarean section should be undertaken before serious damage is done to mother or fcetus, Of the authors' series of 1120 collected cases, in 284 delivery was by Cresarean section, in 290 by forceps application in the occipito-posterior position, in 192 by manual rotation, in 166 by
