The distance between the ostium vagin;<and the anterior anal border is actually increased, providing the four-chette has not been torn. The perineal body in these instances,although unnaturally deep, is weak and it is this condition whichhas undoubtedly given rise to the too sweeping assertion made byKelly and others, that all deep perinaeunis are weak, whereas shal-low short ones are strong.
