Measurements 4-11 were taken upon the subject standing beside a wall to which a measuring tape had been fixed. A right-angled triangular piece of celluloid was applied to the scale to find the height of the point in question.

Measurements 12-26 were taken with callipers in the ordinary way. The sliding instrument, designed by Mr. John Gray (and described in this Journal, vol. xxxi, p. Ill), was used throughout.

Measurements 27 and 28 were taken by means of a steel tape passed between the external margins of the orbits across the nose, or embracing the glabella and the most projecting point of the occiput. Measurement 29 was taken by passing the tape over the top of the head from ear-hole to ear-hole.

Measurements 30-35 were taken from the ear-hole to the most projecting frontal or occipital points or to the nasion, upper alveolus or chin. An apparatus, fitted with a goniometer (as described by one of us in Man, vol. iii, 1903, No. 4, p. 12), was used for this purpose. It was provided with a device, designed by Mr. Gray, which kept the horizontal or vertical traction upon the ear-holes constant during the taking of the various radial measurements.
