By using the odd-numbered Murdock-White SCCS societies, Brown's three hypotheses on female puberty rites were tested. Only matrilocal/ambilocal residence was significantly associated with female puberty rites. But after an adjustment for data quality control, even this relationship became insignificant. Female physiology as symbolized by menstruation is suggested as a better predictor for female puberty rites.
