These include all general presentations, yet other subsidiary ones 

 will at once occur to the attentive reader. Thus, in each anterior or 

 posterior presentation, with the back of the calf turned downward or 

 to one side, the case may be complicated by the bending back of one 

 or more members as a whole or at the joint just above the shank 

 bones (knee or hock). So also in such anterior presentation the head 

 may be turned back.
