LUMBO-PUBIC. 
In this, the foetus is lying on its back,, with all the 
limbs pointing upwards. If called early,* it may be 
possible to push the foetus into the uterus. Having 
corded the limbs, by rotation, convert this into a lumbo¬ 
sacral. If this is not possible, cord the hind-limbs, and 
apply traction upwards. As the hocks come to the 
brim of the pubis, they will likely be caught; then pass 
in the hand and elevate them (hocks). When the point 
of the withers reaches the same situation, they will also 
be fixed, and it may require considerable traction, still 
upwards, to relieve them.

met with in practice, and both parent and foetus often 
die before delivery is completed. The hind-limbs are 
flexed under the body, and the hip of the foetus is
