ith accuracy after a very limited experience. One verysimple means of ascertaining the exact level is to plunge the needleobliquely through skin and subcutaneous fat into the muscle. If theneedle be now slowly withdrawn, at the same time elevating the pointtowards the surface, a distinct click will be felt just as the point isliberated through the hole in the fascia covering the muscle. Anotherand equally simple plan is to pinch up a roll of skin and subcutaneousfat between the thumb and fingers of the left hand as with the scruff of a dogs neck. The needle is now inserted obliquely to the surface andpropelled in the long axis and tow^ards the base of the elevated skin andfat. On approaching the surface of the muscle, if the point of the needlebe swept from side to side, as if dissecting the fat off the muscle, thefascia can be distinctly felt as the needle-point scratches over its super-ficial fibres.
