The card gives the reference: " 20AH, 43?" . This may be an obsolete box number, or part of an obsolete system of classification; in any case, its significance is at present unclear; The snares are set on the " dancing grounds" which the birds have carefully cleared of all stones etc. Finding the obstructing snares on their ground, the birds put their heads through them in order to pull them up, and so get their throats cut against the bamboo edges; Collected by: Skeat.W.W
