We observe also that of the paths described by the swinging leg of the three figures, that of Jig. 260 has nearly completed the entire curve, that of Jig- 259 a little more than half, and that of Jig. 258 exactly half the curve; and that the dotted line which serves to indicate the path of the leg is least in Jig. 260, greater in Jig. 259, and greatest in Jig. 258. The time is greatest in Jig. 260, less in Jig. 259, and least in Jig. 258; conse- quently, when the leg swings beyond the Fig. Fig. 258. Fis.
