the graduated limb will serve to measure the projections of 
the head, while the height of the body in different attitudes 
may be obtained by making the subject stand, kneel, or sit 
against a vertical wall on which a metre rule has been 
suspended one metre above the floor, or from the level of 
the stool, according to the measurement, and placing one 
limb of the square on the vertex of the head and the other 
against the rule. 
Topinard’s “ Anthropometric Box,” made by Collins of 
Paris, contains all the instruments required by the traveller, 
and is to be recommended. 
Two or three strips of lead, 50 centimetres long by 
1 cm. broad, and 2 millimetres thick, are useful for taking 
contours of the head or other part of the body to be after¬ 
wards traced on paper or on the schedule. 
A photographic apparatus is useful in cases where the 
traveller is able to use it. Only two views are of any use 
in anthropography, namely, the full face and the profile. See 
Section' Photography, p. 235.
