## Summary

Records of civilization are incapable of furnishing the era when the equivalent of strands or cords were first used, singly or collectively, for the purpose of holding two or more articles securely in position. But, although it is impossible to fix a period, one might safely say that the original material which served the purpose was some kind of light twig or lanceolate leaf, and that its appearance when in use as a binder strip differed little if at all from its appearance in the natural process of growth. Even at the present day some of these runners are still used, notably with others the rattan canes for binding bales of manila fibre and other purposes.
