This can be accomplished by passing the solid blade into anopening at the root of the nose, and applying the fenestrated blade so as to includethe lower jaw (Fig. 1144). This, as in permanent occipito-posterior position,necessitates the adjustment of the fenestrated blade in the hollow of the sacrum, amanoeuver sometimes attended with much difficulty.
