tain objects as they were passed on the right or left, 

 counted in a scale of values well understood amono; 

 coaching travellers. According to Reynardson, a 

 donkey counted as 7, a pig as 1, a black sheep as 1, 

 a cat as 5, a cat in a window as 10, a dog as 1, a 

 magpie as 1, a grey horse as 5, and some other 

 objects, now known to us only by tradition, had 

 higher values. The party of travellers making the 

 largest count in a certain time or distance, won the
