placed on personal belongings. The description should include:

1. The clothing, approximate age, sex, color, height, weight, color of hair and color of eyes.
2. General state of the body.
3. Anatomical variation, such as previous loss of fingers or other members.
4. Scars from operations, birthmarks or other identifying marks.
5. Detailed examination of teeth.

C. The proper recognition of teeth peculiarities is often the most reliable means of identification. To record same, the following system is recommended:

1. Right     
Upper 87654321 
Lower 87654321 

Left
Upper 12345678
Lower 12345678

This would represent a grown person with all teeth including the last molar or wisdom tooth, No. 8 present with no bridges or fillings.

2. Where teeth are missing, they should be X'd out as: 

Right      
Upper X7654321 
Lower X7654321 

Left
Upper 1234567X
Lower 1234567X

3. Fillings should be shown as a short line pointing to the teeth:

Right          
Upper 87654321 
Lower 87654321 
          '         

Left      '
Upper 12345678
Lower 12345678


Which would mean that the left upper No. 5 is filled and the right lower No. 5, or second pre-molar is filled.

4. Bridges should be shown by encircling the missing teeth and connecting those holding the bridge:

Right    
Upper 8(7654)321 
Lower 87654321  

Left
Upper 12345678
