There isgreater or less asymmetry of the pelvis according to the degreeof lateral curvature of the spinal column. The symphysis ofthe pubes is deviated toward the side opposite the scoliosis. OBSTETRIC DYSTOCIA AND ITS DETERMINATION. 27 At the pelvic inlet there is contraction on the side of theI scoliosis and widening on the other, whilst at the outlet thereverse holds true. The antero-posterior diameter is here dimin-i ished, but more to the same degree than the true conjugate. In the usual variety of scoliosis the dorsal vertebral columnj is curved toward the right, and the compensatory lumbar curveI is toward the left; the pelvic capacity, therefore, is ordinarilyj
