 Collectanea. 197

8. Double Cracks. Played as No. 7, but two must be lifted each time.

9. Deafs. As described, p. 72.

10. Double Deafs. Played as No. 8, without the Crack.

11. Tiss the Toe. The chucks are spread on the ground, one taken and thrown up, one lifted and thrown, one caught, the two in the hand thrown up, and another lifted and the two caught. The three now thrown up, another lifted and the three caught; the four thrown up, the last one lifted and the four caught. The movement is then reversed, four are thrown up, one deposited and the four caught ; three thrown up, one deposited and the three caught, and so on.

12. Clap. The chucks having been scattered, one is thrown up, the ground clapped with the palm of the player's hand and the falling chuck caught. She throws it up again, lifts one and catches the one thrown up.

So it has been described, but analogy leads one to believe that the ground must be clapped as well as the chuck lifted. At any rate the same movement is carried on with each individual chuck, never more than two being in the player's hand at the same time.

13. Double Clap. The same as 12, but two chucks are lifted each time.

14. Hafiy (Hand-y) equivalent to "Skips," a, p. 76.

15. Arj?iy (Arm-y) equivalent to "Skips," b, p. 77.

16. In and out the Byre. This combines in one movement, No. 10, p. 74, and No. 12, p. 75.

17. Drop the Eggs. Equivalent to No 9 a, p. 73.

18. Double drop the Eggs. Equivalent to No. 9 b, p. 74.

19. Snowdrop. With all the chucks in her hand, the player throws up two and lays down three and catches the two. She then throws up the two and lifts the three laid down, catching the two.

20. Double Snoivdrop. Played as 19, but three have to be thrown each time.

21. Lay the Lady. Four chucks are spread on the ground, one is thrown up and one of the four lifted and the falling one caught.
