The mode of insertion or attachment of the arms is noteworthy. Where they are added to the trunkless figure they appear as emerging either from the sides of the head, as in the accompanying drawing by a boy of two and a half years, or from the point of junction of the head and legs (Fig. [19]; cf. above, p. 342, Fig.7 [(d)] and [(e)]). In the case of savage drawings wanting the trunk the arm is also inserted at this point of junction (see above, pp. 344, 346, Figs. [10] and 13 [(f)]).[[252]]
After the trunk has been added, the mode of insertion varies still more. In a not inconsiderable number of cases the arms spring from the bottom of the head-circle, and sometimes even from the median region, as before the trunk appeared (cf. above, p. 346, Fig. 14 [(b)]). In the last case the most grotesque arrangements occur, as if the arms might sprout at any point of the surface.[[253]] In the majority of cases, however, and certainly among the better drawings, the arms spring from the side of the trunk towards the median level (cf. above, p. 341, Fig. 6 [(a)]).
