46. Girth across contracted biceps. 



47. Girth of forearm, greatest. 



48. Girth of wrist, least. 



49. Girth of thigh, greatest (in or about the gluteal fold). 



50. Girth of thigh, middle. 



51. Girth of thigh, least (just above knee). 



52. Girth of calf 



53. Girth of ankle, least. 



54. Contour tracing of hand (traced with a split pencil, held vertically). 



55. Length of hand (either by subtraction of No. 16 from No. 15, 

 or by direct measurement between stylion and dactylion). 



56. Breadth of hand (mm-ml). 



57. Contour of foot (as in No. 54). 



58. Length of foot (burdened by weight of body), (ap-pte). This is 

 most conveniently taken with the osteometric board. The subject 

 stands upon this, with the farthest forward point (acropodion) in contact 

 with the fixed board which indicates 0. The moveable board is then 

 moved up to contact with the heel (pternion). 



59. Breadth of foot (burdened by weight of body), (mt.m-mt.l). 



C. Weight (in Kilograms). 



60. Weight of body (without clothing). 



As the weight without clothing is often inconvenient to ^obtain, the 

 following data on the weight of clothing [Martin, p. 152] may be found 

 useful. These data are taken from the dress of Central Europe, which 

 should be about the same as found in the United States. 



I. Total weight of clothing, without hat; averages. 



man, in summer 3800 grams 



man, in winter 4500 grams 



woman, in summer 3000 grams 



woman, in winter 4000 grams 



II. Percentage of clothing in the total weight (clothed) of children.
