Some Characteristic Structural Types in Eastern Asia and their Bearing upon the Problem of Continental Movements
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
Place two or three fingers of the left hand in a fixed position and lay the right hand by the side of the tip of the fingers in such a position that the former makes an angle of some 20° to 30° with the fingers. Then turn the right hand clockwise, there will appear a series of arcuate folds around the tip of the fingers as well as some échelon folds between the left and the right hand. The greater the angle through which the right hand is twisted, the more predominant will the folds become. In this way we can produce the cranium and the limb of the system but not always the crown, which only begins to appear when the entire palm of the right hand is placed flat on the paper and twisted through a larger angle.
