Between each two stub leaves are two check leaves, the check leaves and the stub leaves being of substantially the same size, the stub leaves bound together at the left hand; two check leaves being attached to each stub leaf, one at its top and one at its bottom, there being longitudinally, the whole length of each place of attachment, a Une of perforations to enable the check to be readily severed. The two checks are folded into the dimensions of the book, the one down and the other up, at the two Unes of perforations, bringing their faces uppermost; the check faces being printed on the same side with that face of the stub leaf on which the particulars of the checks are to be irecorded.
