The external antero-posteriordiameter of Baudelocque is below the normal. Internally, the diagonal con-jugate is found considerably reduced. The symphysis has less of a slant out-ward than it should have, the promontory is found low and prominent, thesacral bone is sharply bent upon itself, and the pelvic canal is remarkablyshallow. On account of the increase in the conjugate-symphyseal angle dueto the lessened slant outward of the symphysis, at least 2 centimeters shouldbe subtracted from the diagonal conjugate. The difference between the twowould be greater were it not for the low situation of the promontory, whichcompensates to a certain extent for the lessened slant of t
