Note 77 — PART I
Reading edition
See the excellent monograph on “Kite-Fishing,” by Henry Balfour, in Essays and Studies, presented to Wm. Ridgeway (Cambridge, 1913), p. 23, where he regards the invention as ancient and probably proto-Malayan. This hook was usually made of wood and the claw of a bird. Cf. Man, 1912, Art. 4, and case 42 in Ethnographical Collection at the British Museum.
