The debate concerning the relative effect upon human fertility of sociocultural factors is continued by investigation of the case of Eastern Nigeria. The basis of analysis in the mean number of children over born to a sample of wives during a single, demographic inquiry in 1974.; A step-wise multiple regression analysis and cross-tabulations are used to display the relative effect of selected variables upon ferti I ity. The results show that of all significant factors of fertility in the region, infant and childhood mortality, as well as a consequent unwillingness to cease chi Id-bearing are the leading socio-cultural determinants of the high fertility recorded in the region
