In addition to the above specimens, Mason, Plate 218, pictures nine 

 " ancient baskets from Oraibi," of which seven are coiled and two 

 twined/ Six of the coiled baskets are on three-rod-triangular founda- 

 tion (fig. 11). In texture and technique these coiled baskets are differ- 

 ent from those above described, resembling the modern work of Utes. 

 The large twined water bottle has a frame woven in like that of a 

 burden basket, as has also one of the twined bottles from Zuni (Mason, 

 pi. 213, upper center).

 is not inconsistent with finds of typical Basket Maker material, viz.. Marsh Pass 

 collections of Kidder and Guernsey. 



^ Mason, pp. 506-507, describes these baskets, pointing out that one is 

 modern ; he lists museum numbers. 



' M.A.I., H.F. No. 7/825. 



' Mason, p. 253, calls both baskets in pi. 2S, Sia, while he titles pi. 28 itself, 

 Zufii. The upper basket is Zuiii, the lower is Sia. 



* Note that this basket and the preceding one have the same museum numbers 

 as well as the two specimens numbered 1 3421 5. There are four specimens, not 

 two. 



"That the design of this and the preceding specimen is red and black is my 

 judgment; at the present day both designs appear as faded brown and red.
