Vui. '.'. Straight bow, with Mtirdoch's southern type of backing. The peculiarity of 

 this bow is shown iu fig. 3a. After nearly all the filaments in the cable 

 have been passed from nock to nock, the bowyer, stopped with his braid at 

 a certain point, made two half hitches, and then added a strand to the 

 cable by going to an equidistant point on the other side of the grip. 

 This was repeated three times on this bow and the braid fastened off in 

 the middle. The mark at the side of the bow denotes inches.
