[240]. For an illustration see Andree, Eth. Parallelen und Vergleiche, pl. 3, fig. 19.
[241]. See for an example, Schoolcraft, iv., pl. 18.
[242]. According to Stanley Hall the nose comes after the mouth. This may be an approximate generalisation, but there are evidently exceptions to it. On the practice of savage draughtsmen see the illustrations of Australian cave drawings in Andree, op. cit., p. 159. Cf. the drawings of Brazilian tribes, plate iii., 15. In some cases there seems a preference for the nose, certain of the Brazilian drawings representing facial features merely by a vertical stroke.
[243]. M. Passy calls attention to this in his interesting note on children’s drawings, Revue Philosophique, 1891, p. 614 ff. I find however that though the error is a common one it is not constant.
[244]. In one case I find the curious device of two dots or small circles, one above the other within a larger circle, and this form repeated in the eye of animals.
[245]. An example of circle within circle occurs in a drawing by a male Zulu in General Pitt-Rivers’ collection.
[246]. It is possible that in this drawing the two short lines added to the mouth are an original attempt to give the teeth.

[248]. A drawing given by Andree, op. cit., plate ii., II, seems to me to illustrate a somewhat similar attempt to develop the trunk out of the head.
[249]. The opposite arrangement of a triangle on its apex occurs among savage drawings.
