appeared of the same type as indicated by the toe-tracings. In this 

 exception, the foot when judged by the outline appeared L, but appears 

 as an E when judged by the skeleton. 



Measurements of the thickness of the soft tissue at the ends of the 

 first and second toes were made and are shown in Table V. These 

 measurements show that the soft tissue at the end of the great toe is 

 constantly longer than that of the second toe and that this difference 

 increases with age. Thus, the average length of the soft tissues for the 

 first toe is 0*535 cm. and for the second toe is 0'396 cm. On further 

 analysing the results, it appears that the excess in length of the soft 

 tissue of the first toe is 0*1 11 cm. for the L type of foot and 0*177 for
