Evidently the periods of contact upon three members are so muchshorter and less api)reciable as the rhythm of the gait is more precipi-tated. They occur at the time of each change of contact, and, as thereare four of changes, two for each biped, anterior and posterior,there should also be four supplementary tripedal bases.* If M. Mareys instruments, delicate as they arc, have not registeredthem, it is because they occur at the instant of the raising and resting 1 Like marking!^ on the extremities, the tripedal bases are designated by the name of theisolated member (anterior or posterior) which contributes to form them. Example, the base PG,PD—AG, will be called tripedal anterior left. 5
