No. S;MIU [173Sj is a pair of rather small shoes 

 fiom L'tkiavwui, one of whieh is shown in Fig. 

 .'!o4. They are rights and lefts, and are 42 inches 

 long by 1(1 broad. The frame is wholly of oak, 

 and differs from the tjqje only in having no extra 

 hind l)ar, and having the heel and toe bars about 

 eiiual in length. The points are fastened together 

 with a treenail, as well as with a whalebone stitch. 

 The heelnettiugs are put on with peitect regu- 

 larity, as on the pair last described, but the toe- 

 nettings, though they start in the usual way, do 

 not follow any regular rule of sucession, the 

 rounds being put on sometimes inside and some- 

 times outside of the preceding, till the whole 

 sjiace is tilled. The foot-nettings are somewhat 

 clumsily made, es]iecially on the right shoe, which 

 appears to have been broken in several places, 

 and ••col)l>led" liy an unskillful workman. There 

 are only live transverse strands which are double 

 on the left shoe, and the longitudinal strands 

 are not whipjjed to these, but interwoven, and 

 each jiair twisted together between the trans-
