Raabe's and LuneVs Hippo Lasso. 



The hippo lasso of Kaabe and Liinel, Figure 56, is com- 

 posed of two principal parts, viz. : breast collar and breeching 

 strap. These are joined together by two long side straps (e) 

 (d). The breeching is suspended by a leather strap (g). This 

 strap is buckled on each side to the breeching strap (b) (c). 

 The breast collar (i) is also suspended by a similar strap (h) 

 and is attached on each side by buckles (j) (k). The over- 

 neck strap (h) and over-hip strap (g) are connected by an 

 adjustable back strap (g) (f).
