Those cut up in other ways are also giventhe same interpretation or are more rarely called rain (sketches 68to 76). Any other narrow vertical effect, such as is achieved by avertical row of small triangles or diamonds (sketches 297, 302, pi. 84;524, pi. 88), seems to be considered in the same class as the verticalline and is given a similar interpretation. n 48 ¥ 49 63 64 65 66 67 6S 69 70 SI II 53 62 54.
