The mobility of the chest is another important factor, especially in reference to its relation with height and weight. From a large number of observations in the British service the maximua chest expansion of a man of average size. 1S- 35 years of age,

was found to be two to two and a half inches; rarely three inches. The "chest mobility", that is, the difference between the measurement at insp. iration and expiration, should be at least 2 inches in men below 5 feet 7 inche in height, and 2 inches in these above that height. The circumference of the chest is measured by passing the tape around it immediately at the point of th shoulder blade, the arm hanging down. Generally the tape will then be found to fall below the nipple.

The following standards are useful as showing that there is an average proportion in healthy, fully developed men between the height, weight, chest measurement, and chest mobility, which, however, will admit of slight variation. without indicating a departure from health,
