The extent of the roll of the helix of the ear was noted. The helix was 

 roughly divided into three parts designated as the first-third, the second-third, and 

 the total helix. The first-third refers to that portion of the helix terminating in 

 the vicinity of the superaurale, the second-third extends from this point to a point 

 just below the position of the tuberculare.
