§ 173. Remarks. — As the alternate Hne is the 

 "new line " of the previous methods, the " anterior 

 line leading " movements end here, as there, with 

 a stress on the same point, viz., the right upper 

 corner of the sternum. 



In all these movements, where the anterior line 

 leads, the order of succession for the cross-line 

 ends in the composite spine is small of the 

 back, upper corners of sternum for the anterior 

 ends ; small of back, lower end of sternum, for 

 the posterior ends. This is a necessary conse- 

 quence of the throughout continued filUng of the 

 (right) lower lung lobe, as the conspicuous foun- 

 dation of the movement. On the other hand, 

 for the leading of the posterior line where the in- 

 ward pressure of the (right) upper true rib convex, 

 whether forward or to the rear, is the foundation 

 of the movement, the succession is necessarily 

 lower end of sternum, small of back for the pos-

 for the anterior ends.
