found. Of these 102, 91 were coiled and 11 twined. A chance associa-
tion between the coiled technique and this particular form of quail
tip would be 63 cases. There is therefore a definite correlation
between the two.

Similarly, one gets a high positive correlation between the tri-
angular foot type and the twined technique. This particular type of
the motif is found 59 times, and all but 9 of these instances are twined.
A chance expectancy would be but 22. In other words, the actual
occurrence is over twice that expected on the basis of a purely casual
association. This association is the more marked as there is nothing
inherent in the twining process that would militate against the
inverted L form of quail tip. On the other hand, it is conceivable
