title: [Bi-parietal diameter of the black African child].
abstract: The authors have made a growth cure of the bi-parietal diameter of the African infant using observations taken on 350 African women who were followed up and delivered in their department. Over all these curves of growth are smaller than the reference curves used in France. This study is a first contribution to the understanding of the mechanics of obstetrics in the African woman.
