Westminster Abbey, window inclosing a foliated circle. triangle is made to inclose a foliated circle (98): thesame gradual progress towards regular tracery may benoticed in these as in the other classes. Cusps form so important a part of tracery, that it isalmost necessary to point outtheir succession and varietyalso. They may be found oc-casionally, though rarely, inNorman work. In the EarlyEnglish period they are abun-dant, and frequently orna-mented with sculpture, or fo-liage, or heads; but they areattached to the lower surfaceor soffit of the mullion, or tra-cery bar (99), and do not seem to grow out of it, andform part of it, in the same manner as they do inDecorated work.
