both foundations, up, over, and under the upper foundation only, then 

 back and under l)oth to the point of beginning. This is an old speci- 

 men, had been in the possession of a family for many years. From 

 theSichomovi (Hopi) Pueblo, made l)y the Havasupai (Yuman) Indians, 

 collected by Dr. Walter Hough. 



Plate 231 represents the Havasupai basket maker at her home, which 

 is in Cataract Canj^on emptying into th(> Colorado liiver from the 

 south, in northwestern Arizona. The most interesting feature of this 

 phite is the association of the baski^t maker with her home. The steep 

 wall of the canyon forms the back of the house, and a slight ])rush 

 awning covered with grass is hei" shelter. So far as the house is con- 

 cerned, we are as near to the lowest sa\'age and primitive man as it is 

 possible to get, but in the woman and her work we are on the top 

 round of savagery. The Apache-Yuma basket makers at Palomas, 

 Arizona, sit in front of their brush and stniw shelt(M-s tho same as the 

 Pimas, hold the right side of the ])la([U(^ or bowl inwaid, and work 

 their sewing toward the left hand. (C. C. Simms, Field ( -olumbiau 

 Museum.) In the previous plate the woman is making coiled basketry, 

 l)ut in the one here given by George Wharton James the bottlt^ and the 

 carrying l)askets are in twilled or diagonal-twined weaxing. 



The Walapai, spelled often Ilualapai. fi'om Walla, tall })ine, Pai, 

 people, are also of thc^ Yuman family and dwell near '^ri'uxton. Hack- 

 berry, and Kingman, in northern Arizona. There are less than 600 

 of them. They make water jars of several shapes and many sizes; 

 household buskets and phupies, never decorated, often covtu'ed with 

 pitch on the inside, always shallow; more or less cylindrical baskets with 

 geometric designs in martynia, rarely painted ))luish, red or white on 

 the outside; the same with bail-like hajulles; great conical carrying 

 baskets, sparingly decorated; small plaques, tiner work, splints dyed; 

 baby boards, and fanciful shajK^s. These are coiled on the rod and 

 splint foundation and resemble Apache. Basketr}" terms are: 



Wi-uat we-se-ma, prepared root of yucca, of l)rownish-red color. 



Ma-k-tu-na, red roots of a little plant on the moimtains. 



K-he-e, or K-he-e-he-vah, reeds used for vertical ribs, also white or 

 green fiber. 



Ma-tha-kigh, reed for making bal)v boards, hoods, also for warps 

 of baskets. An example was collected b\' Dr. Hrdlicka, ornanuMited 

 with triangles and crenelated lines in pink and black. 



The Mohave Indians (Yuman famil}) do not make baskets, but obtain 

 them from other tribes, and examples will be found in every house. 

 The}^ obtain their rabbit-skin robes, done in twined weaving, from 

 Paiutes (Shoshonean family) and Walapai (Yuman family). The 

 Mohaves make constant use of the wrapped weaving. (See page 231, 

 and Plate IT.) 



The C^hemehuevi are Shoshonean linguistically, and are now located
