The Du Bois surface measurements were also useful in noting whether there was uniform agreement between the surface measurements as thus made and anatomical photographs of the subject, in accordance with the singular relationship noted in the Nutrition Laboratory a year or two ago.1 It was observed that when the shadow of the body in a certain lateral pose was planimetered and compared with a photographed meter scale, the area thus computed bore a striking proportionality to that measured by the Du Bois linear formula. Even with the most diverse configuration of body and grotesque shapes this uniformity held true. To provide a double check upon the accuracy of the Du Bois measurements and to show at a glance the general anatomical condition of these men prior to and subsequent to the period of reduced diet, a set of profile photographs was made for each subject. Only one pose (pose C) was used.2 These photographs thus served, first, to indicate directly the general configuration of the body of the subject studied; second, to show the changes in configuration as the loss in weight progressed; third, to supply interesting comparisons for the area as determined by the planimeter for comparison with that computed from the Du Bois linear formula.
