part-ends." In buch a casc as thc 240, the calling is sometimes expluincd in ancther way, thus: “Cali a Bob every timc the observation beli" (in this ca^e the tenor) “dodges behind, with a single instead of a bob when thc fifth is with her." This means that a single has to be cailed when the tiłth and si\th dodgc togetlur in 5-6. One beli is satd to be “wiłhauotfur" when, as in this case, they dodge together in the same piaccs. In this esample one heli is, of course, dodgtng in 5-6 up and the other in 5-6 down. In certom cases, as will be shewn further on, the same terms are used to explain when a cali has to be omitled.

Touches on the same principle as any of the foregoingcan be piicked with the observation beli varied to suit theconveni-ence of the conductor. For instance, if a bob is cailed whenever any one beli dodges right, or \vhenever it dodges wrong (I do not mean both right and wrong), a tonch with three bobs, on the veiy same plan as the 180, will be produced. If bobs are cailed whenever any one beli js right, and also whenever it 15 wrong, a tourh on the principle of the second 120 will be had. In these cases the beli used as thc obseiwation will be in Us own place at each course-end, that is, at every tifth lead-end. As a conductor can eastly malec himself accjuainled with these matlers by pricking out different variations of these touches, I shall now proceed to peals of 720 changcs.

In peals of this length there would be si.\ty lead ends to give, if every one were piicked. Another modę of representing them is therefore adopted; it is Itnown as “ptickmg by thc bob changcs," which means that only the łead-ends at w'hich calls are madę are given. In such cases the number of leads at which the bob changes are apart is generally given at the right-hand side of the column. For instance, the second touch of 120 (page 64) would be pricked as here sbown.
