should be remembered that it is adapted to the old sitting posture. 
The form of the symbol and other details are clearly shown 
in the figures and require no lengthy description. In zine blocks 
it is well known that accidental irregularities are often exag- 
gerated while real angles are suppressed. The lines which shut off 
the claws from the rest of the limbs in fig. 1 should be slightly 
angular with the apex pointing towards the body, not straight.
