(ii) In this series the curves on the left are replaced by straight lines which make an acute angle. They are drawn first and then the vertical is made. Sometimes the vertical is bent to touch the apex of the angle, or a short bar is drawn to join the apex with the vertical (Fig. 4. II). The first two examples are seen in the Mysore inscriptions (Pl. IVa), the third in the Girnar R.E., Sopara R.E., and Erragudi, Rajula Mandagiri, and Gujarra M.R.I.s. The last can be seen in the Dhauli and Jaugad R.E.s, and Kosam P.E., Girnar R.E., and Mysore inscriptions.
