The practice of obstetrics, designed for the use of students and practitioners of medicine . Fig. 225.—Stones Method of Cephalo-metry. Fig. 226.—Determining the Capability ofTHE Head to Descend into the Method of Cephalometry.—{Bumnt.) Ferrets method. An ordinary pelvimeter is used, and no deduction is made forthe thickness of the abdominal and uterine walls. The patient is in the ordinarydorsal posture, and the examiner standing on one side, facing the patients feet,carefully palpates and makes out the position of the fetal head. If it is alreadyengaged in the pelvis, it will not only be impracticable, but also unnecessary tomeasure it. The occipital and frontal poles are now grasped between the twohands, and an assistant places from below the ends of the pelvimeter betweenthe terminal phalanges of the middle and ring fingers of the examiner, pushingthem firmly inward as the examiner directs. An assistant or nurse is necessaryto obtain the best results, in order that the examiners fingers may be entirelyfree accurately to locate the fetal head (Fig. 225)
