ANATOMICAL DIMENSIONS. 



INTRODUCTION. 



To obtain successful and uniform results it is absolutely necessary 

 that the observer should have a clear perception of the anatomical points 

 between and around which the measurements are made. Certain ana- 

 tomical terms and surface markings must therefore in the first instance 

 be defined and explained. For the purpose of obtaining as hii,'h a degree 

 of exactitude as possible in this direction, the Committee have intro- 

 duced into the Report a series of illustrations of the human body which 

 have been prepared by the Chairman (Professor D. J. Cunningham) with 

 the assistance of Dr. David AVaterston. 



ANATOMICAL TERMS DEFINED. 



Acromion. — The sharp border of bone at the top of the outer aspect of 

 the shoulder. It can be detected most easily by passing the finger from 

 behind forwards over the upper and outer aspect of the shoulder and 

 pressing somewhat deeply. It is from the outermost point of the acromion 

 that measurements are taken. 



Anterior superior spine of the ilinm. — A rounded projection or pro- 

 minence which forms the anterior end of the iliac crest, or, in other words, 

 of the curved upper border of the pelvic or haunch bone. As a rule the 

 spine does not show with any degree of distinctness on the surface, and 

 must be chiefly discovered by touch. To do this it is best to pass the fin<^er 

 from below upwards on the upper and outer aspect of the thigh until it is 

 arrested by the bony prominence in question. 



Canthi (outer and inner). — The angles of meeting of the two eye- 

 lids.
