observation (as regards the phases of respiration) applies to this meas- 

 urement as to No. 27 q.v. Secondary measurement. 



31. * Sternal height: measured with sHding callipers: from the supra- 

 sternal notch (cf. No. 4 supra) in its deepest part, to the base of the 

 ensiform cartilage. 



32. Bi-condylar diameter of the humerus. Secondary measurement. 



33. Bi-styloid diameter of the fore-arm. Secondary measurement. 



34. Bi-condylar diameter of the femur. Secondary measurement. 



35. Bi-malleolar diameter. Secondary measurement. 



36. *Thoracic circumference: this circumference is to be measured in 

 the horizontal plane, passing through the base of the ensiform carti- 

 lage. The same observation apphes here as to No. 27. Secondary 

 measurement. 



37. Circumference of the neck. Secondary measurement. 



38. Circumference of the upper arm. The maximum circumference 

 obtained below the insertion of the deltoid muscle, the arm being held 

 in the position of rest. 



39. Circumference of the upper arm with the biceps muscle in the 

 contracted state. Proceed as in the case of No. 38. Secondary meas- 

 urement. 



40. Maximum circumference of the fore-arm. This measurement is 

 to be made in the region of the epitrochlear and epicondylar muscles 

 and extensors, i. e., immediately below the joint-level. 



41. Minimum circumference of the fore-arm. This measurement is 

 to be made above the level of the styloid processes of the radius and 

 ulna. 



42. Maximum circumference of the thigh. This measurement is to 

 be made at the level of the gluteal fold. 



43. Minimum circumference of the thigh: measured above the level 

 of the knee-joint. 



44. Circumference of the calf of the leg: the maximum value. 



45. Minimum circumference of the leg. This measurement is to be 

 made above the level of the malleoli. 



46. Minimum circumference of the waist. This measurement is to 

 be made at the level of the most constricted portion of the abdomen. 



47. Contour of the hand. The right hand is applied to a sheet of 

 paper, the fingers being very slightly separated, and the axis of the 

 middle-finger forming a prolongation of that of the fore-arm. The 

 two ends of the bi-styloid line are to be marked by pencil dots. Start- 

 ing from these points the contour of the palm and fingers is to be traced
