EXAMPLE.

[Footnote 13: _a c sia_. In the original text _b_ is written instead

of _c_--an evident slip of the pen.] Let _a b c_ be the fold of the

drapery spoken of above, _a c_ will be the places where this folded

drapery is held fast. I maintain that the part of the drapery which

is farthest from the plaited ends will revert most to its natural

form.

Therefore, _b_ being farthest from _a_ and _c_ in the fold _a b c_

it will be wider there than anywhere else.

[Footnote: See Pl. XXVIII, No. 6, and compare the drawing from

Windsor Pl. XXX for farther illustration of what is here stated.]
