For taking this measurement thepatient is put in the dorsal posture, with the buttocks projectingbeyond the vl\^c of the table or bed on which she lies. A markwith the point o\ a lead-pencil is made on the skin over thesymphysis pubis, about % of an inch below the upper two fingers of the left hand are inserted in the vagina, asin measuring the diagonal conjugate. The tip of the middlefinger, having found the middle line of the promontory, ismoved a little to the patients right, and tip I) of the pelvimeter,shown in figure 278, is made to take its place. While theexamining physician holds the shaft of the pelvimeter firmly in
