The sequellae of the grfat War have set many a task to the medical and anthropological sciences, and one of the most urgent of these is how to determine in the best way the physical efficiency of a given person.In a preliminary way the writer has dealt with this problem before the International Institute of Anthropology, Paris, 1920, and in the present paper will endeavor to describe his methods as far as developad.The indications are, i t may be said a t once, that it will be necessary, besides employing a general procedure capable of giving us a good estimate of the physical efficiency of any subject presented for examination, to use also modified methods for testing men of different vocations, similarly as is done by psychologists in the testing of mental qualities .The methods to be described here may be termed "somatotechnic," in harmony with the term "psychotechnic" usually adopted for similar procedures in psychology
