This represents a frog squatting down ; holding all the strings 

 taut, release the thumbs and the frog hops off. 



The Frog. 



The identical figure is called Katit in Saibai Island, Torres Straits ; 

 gorogoro at Maipani, Mouth of Bainu River, W. Papua ; and JcaraJcara 

 at (Jape York, X. Queensland — each of which signifies " frog." The 

 Bugi people in W. Papua, however, call it a " Man spearing Dugong 

 from a Platform." 



14. "Porker." (Lifu, Loyalty Islands.) 



Hold part of the string between the thumbs and indices, the hands 

 being about six inches apart ; make a small loop by bringing the 

 right hand towards you and to the left. Hold the loop between 

 the thumbs and indices so that both the loops hang down, and 

 pass the indices towards you through both loops. Separate the 

 hands by turning up the indices.
