[9]

Let him stretch the hayes on level ground and put the road-nets¹ in roads and from game tracks into the adjacent ground, fastening down the (lower) cords to the ground, joining the elbows, fixing the stakes between the selvedges,² putting the ends on the top of the stakes and stopping the byways.

1 The hayes and purse-nets seem to be connected in the same series; but the road-nets seem to be independent screens.

2 We are to think of a series of nets joined together. These stakes will be inserted in the top and bottom line of meshes. The selvedge runs along the top and bottom of the net.
