c9.s5.5

In the bird-signs one can see a creature in flight (probably a bat), Pl. *Ia*. VI. 14; a bird in a cage or enclosure of some kind, Pl. *Ia*. VI. 12; and a bird with a cross in the belly, Pl. *Ia*. VI. 13. One can also possibly recognize a hen, Pl. *Ia*. VI. 10; a crow, Pl. *Ia*. VI. 9; and a peacock, Pl. *Ia*. VI. 6; but probably these different species are immaterial. What is more important is the addition of strokes, 1–3 in the belly and at the tail.
