Each succeeding turn overlaps the preceding one half itswidth. The bandage can be continued in the same manner untilthe whole sphere is covered. It will be seen that these turns areanalagous to those of the slow spiral, except that, being applied to aspherical instead of a cylindrical part, they progress around insteadof ascending it. This principle is applicable to bandages of the head, but is alsouseful in bandages to retain surgical dressings after operations, etc. THE SPIRAL REVERSED BANDAGE. In order to completely cover a part which has the shape of arapidly increasing cone and still
