Show OUTLINES FOR ARM POSITIONS IN GESTURE- LANGUAGE. N. B.- The gestures, to be indicated by corrected positions of arms and by dotted lines showing the motion from the initial to the final positions ( which are severally marked by an arrow- head and a cross- see sheet of EXAMPLES), will be always shown as they appear to an observer facing the gesturer, the front or side outline, or both, being used as most convenient. The special positions of hands and fingers will be designated by reference to the " TYPES OP HAND POSITIONS." For brevity in the written description, " hand" may be used for " right hand/' when that one alone is employed in any particular gesture. In cases where the conception or origin of any sign is not obvious, if it can be ascertained or suggested, a note of that added to the description would be highly acceptable. Associated facial expression or bodily posture which may accentuate or qualify a gesture is necessarily left to the ingenuity of the contributor.
