206 PICTOGEAPHS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS. 



No. 4. Denotes that the narrator has made trading expeditious with 

 a dog-sledge. 



No. 5. Is a sailboat, although the elevated paddle signifies that that 

 was the manner in which the voyage was best made. 



No. 6. A dog-sled, with the animal hitched up for a journey. The 

 radiating lines in the upper left hand corner, over the head of the man, 

 is a representation of the sun. 



No. 7. A sacred lodge. The four figures at the outer corners of the 

 square represent the young men placed on guard, armed with bows and 

 arrows, to keep away those not members of the band, who are depicted 

 as holding a dance. The small square in the center of the lodge rep- 

 resents the fire-place. The angular lines extending from the right side 

 of the lodge to the vertical partition line are an outline of the sub- 

 terranean eutrance to the lodge. 



No. 8. A pine tree, upon which a porcupine is crawling upward. 



No. 9. A pine tree, from which a bird (woodpecker) is extracting 

 larva? for food. 



No. 10. A bear. 



No. 11. The recorder in his boat, holding aloft his double-bladed 

 paddle to drive fish into a net. 



No. 12. An assistant fisherman driving fish into the net. 



No. 13. The net. 



The figure over the man (No. 12) represents a whale, with harpoon 

 and line attached, caught by the narrator. 



It will be understood that all personal customs, such, for instance, as 

 the peculiar arrangement of hair in any tribe, are embodied in their 

 pictorial designation by other tribes and perhaps by themselves. See 

 in this connection, page 230. 



Among the many customs susceptible of graphic portrayal which do 

 not happen to be illustrated in this paper, an example may be given in 

 the mode in several tribes (e. g., Apache, Muskoki, Dakota and Miztec, 

 of punishing the infidelity of wives, namely, by cutting oft' the nose. 

 The picture of a noseless woman would, therefore, when made by those 

 tribes, have distinct meaning. The unfaithful wife mentioned on page 

 134 is drawn with a nose, but in her case the greater punishment of 

 death was inflicted.
