    XXIY. SOME NEW ANTHROPOMETRICAL INSTRUMENTS. By C. R. BROWNE, M.B. [COMMUNICATED BY PROFESSOR D. CUNNINGHAM, M.D.] [Read December 4, 1891.] Yeby soon after the regular work of the Anthropometrical Laboratory of Trinity College, Dublin, was started, it became evident that there was need for some slight improvement both in onr methods and instruments.
