Relation of the Proportions of the Trunkto Visceral Prolapse.— For some years Ihave made careful anthropometric studiesof all my patients, making measurementsaccording to the rules generally followedin observations of this kind. I have ex-tended my study to the peasant women ofvarious nationalities, especially French,German, Italian, and Chinese women,a single tribe of East Indian women, andthe women of a number of the primitiveAmerican Indian tribes of Arizona, NewMexico, and the Indian Territory.

This fact evidently ex-plains the reason of the unu-sual smallness of waist in Teluguwomen, and suggests the cause ofthe same deformity in civilizedAmerican women, a peculiaritythat is not exhibited by the abo-riginal women of this country.
