The second tape (2) is one-half meter long and one-half centimeter wide, and is provided with a sliding head,through which the first tape passes. This tape is, there-fore, at right-angles to, and movable upon, the first is also graduated after the English and metric object of this tape is to ascertain at what distancefrom a certain fixed bony point the first tape has beenapplied, so that on succeeding occasions the measurementmay be taken at the same point. To illustrate: If the r» J. 1 11 -I 111 1. Fig. 2. tape (1) be applied to the arm at a distance of seven andone-half centimeters from the internal condyle of thehumerus (reckoned by means of tape 2), it is obviousthat on succeeding occasions, or in comparison of thetwo extremities, the tape (1) must be applied at exactlythe same point, thus excluding all possible chance oferror. My manner of using the tape is as follows : For theupper arm I select the internal condyle of the humerusas the fixed point. Then measure off seven and one-halfcentimeters with tape No. 2. At this point the circum-ference of the arm is taken by means of tape No. I. In 86 William C. Krauss. like manner the circumference of the arm is noted atdistances of fifteen and twenty-two and one-half centime-ters from the fixed point. For the lower arm exactly thesame procedure is followed, beginning at the proximal endand taking the circumference at seven and one-half, fifteenand twenty-two and one-half centimeters from the inter-nal c
