Fig. 281—Parallel lines of different width; serrate margin
The interval between the parallel bands around the vessel may be very much reduced in size, and some of the bands may be of different width, or otherwise modified. Such a deviation is seen in [figure 281], which has three bands, one of which is broad with straight edges, the other with serrate margin and hook-like appendages.
Fig. 282—Parallel lines of different width; median serrate
Fig. 283—Parallel lines of different width; marginal serrate
In [figure 282] eight bands are shown, the marginal broad with edges entire, and the median pair serrated, the long teeth fitting each other in such a way as to impart a zigzag effect to the space which separates them. The remaining four lines, two on each side, appear as black bands on a white ground. It will be noticed that an attempt was made to relieve the monotony of the middle band of figure 282 by the introduction of a white line in zigzag form. A similar result was accomplished in the design shown in [figure 283] by rectangles and dots.
