Fig. 4.—(_a_) Line Chevron Border.
(_b_, _c_, and _d_) Different Methods of Shading (_a_).
Fig. 5.—(_a_) Bar Chevron Border.
(_b_) The same as (_a_), but shaded.
(_c_) Surface Pattern, produced by repeating (_b_).
A few new patterns (see Fig. 6) may be produced by placing the chevron
with the point of the V facing to the right or left, thus, =<= or =>=,
instead of upwards or downwards, thus, =Λ= or =V=.
[Illustration: Fig. 6.
(_a_) Chevron Border, with V’s placed thus, => >=.
(_b_) The same as (_a_), but with a horizontal line
through the points of the =V=’s.
(_c_) The same as (_a_), but shaded.
(_d_) The same as (_b_), but shaded.

Fig. 7.—(_a_) Single Border, composed of Triangles.
(_b_) Double Border, composed of Triangles, with
the points of all the Triangles meeting.

Fig. 9.—(_a_) Double Border, composed of Triangles, with the
points of the Triangles in one row falling in
the centres of the bases of Triangles in the row
above.

[Illustration: Fig. 13.
Fig. 13.—(_a_) Surface Pattern, produced by repeating the Bar
Chevron Border, so that the points of all the
Chevrons meet.
(_b_) The same as (_a_), but with the Chevrons set apart.
