height from ground of several important points (see B. 6). Bing 
at end of measure, for hanging up. 
4. Medical Thermometer, ranging up to 120° (to prevent risk 
of breakage by exposure to heat). It should have been kept for 
a few months and certified at Kew, and must be compared 
again with the same standard after return. 
5. Seconds Watch. 
6. Dotted papers, for testing distance and clearness of vision 
(see XIII. Senses). 
B. Where a larger outfit can be taken, or where the observer 
is stationary, the following instruments are more or less de¬ 
sirable :— 
1. A set of photographic apparatus (see XCIX. Photo¬ 
graphy) . 
2. Two or three strips of lead, 50 centimetres long, 1 broad, 
and 2 millimetres thick, for taking contours$ to be afterwards 
traced on drawing-paper (see IX. Physiognomy). 
3. Dynamometer. Traction appears to yield the best test. 
Broca recommends the dynamometer of Mathieu, of Paris, as 
cheap, portable, and efficient. 
4. Box of water-colours. Useful for reproducing tints when 
the chromatic scale is not available, or for colouring photo¬ 
graphs. 
5. Either the goniometer of Broca or the craniometer of Busk. 
The former is more complete, but less portable. 
6. Squares, (a) A carpenter’s square, the horizontal branch 
graduated, the vertical branch running in the groove of the long 
measure, A. 3. (b) A smaller square, the longer limb of which 
may cross that of the large one ( a ) horizontally at a right angle. 
This longer limb should be graduated. Full description in 
Broca’s instructions. 
With the long measure and these two squares may easily be 
determined the height of any point in the body or limbs. 
7. Plaster of Paris, for taking casts or moulds. 
8. Spring-balance, for weighing. 
9. Sphygmometer (?). Useless, except to a practised ob¬ 
server. 
10. Common compasses, pointed, for minute measurement, 
and for testing sense of touch. 
Instrument-makers will be invited to deposit for exhibition 
some of the more important of the above-mentioned instruments 
at the rooms of the Anthropological Institute, 4 St. Martin’s 
Place, Trafalgar Square, London.
