+------------------------------------+
The sequence in which the digits have been registered is not from the
thumb outwards to the little finger, but, on account of various good
reasons that will be appreciated as we proceed, in the following order.
The ten digits are registered in four groups, which are distinguished in
the Index by the letters A, B, C, D:--
A. _First._ The fore, middle, and ring-fingers of the _right_ hand
taken in that order.
B. _Second._ The fore, middle, and ring-fingers of the _left_ hand
taken in that order.
C. _Third._ The thumb and little finger of the _right_ hand.
D. _Fourth._ The thumb and little finger of the _left_ hand.
Consequently an index-heading will be of the form--
First Second Third Fourth
group. group. group. group.
_a a l_ _a a w_ _l l_ _l l_
These index-headings are catalogued in alphabetical order. The method used
in the Index is that which takes note of no slopes, except those of loops
in the fore-finger of either hand. Consequently the index-heading for my
own digits, printed on the title-page, is _wlw oll wl wl_. Those of the
eight sets in Plate VI. are as follows:--
_i l w i l l w w w l_
_o l w o l w w l l l_
_o l w o l w w l l l_
_o l w o l l l l l l_
_i l w i l w w l w l_
_i l w i w l l l l l_
_i l l w w l l l l l_
_o l l a a l l l a l_
_o a a a a a l a l a_
