It is then gentlyurged forward along the right lateral wall of the pelvis until it occupies a posi-tion near the obturator foramen opposite its fellow or over the right ear of thefetus. This may be done by means of the fingers in the vagina, by depressing thehandle, rotating it on its long axis and carrying it to the left (Fig. 1207)..
