34 THE ESKIMO ABOUT BERING STRAIT (ETH. ANN. 18 
is a handsomely made hood fashioned from the skin of a wolf’s head, 
the nose of the animal resting directly over the brow and extending 
back over the head, so that the ears of the animal lie on the nape of 
the wearer’s neck. From just back of the nose to a point nearly 
between the ears the skin is slit and an oval piece of skin, tanned with 
the hair off, is set in, and along it are sewed ten parallel, longitudinal 
rows of blue beads. ' Little strings of red, white, blue, and black beads 
are attached to the 
sides of the head 
from just back of the 
wolf’s nose, down 
along each side, two- 
thirds of the way to 
the ears. Sewed to 
the front border of 
the hood is a strip of 
long-hair wolfskin, 
and two strings at 
the corners in front

frocks of the men are 
cut a trifle longer 
behind than in front. 
South of the Yukon 
these garments are 
cut nearly the same 
length all around. 
Many of the Ko- 
wak and Noatak 
men seen at Hotham 
inlet wear hunting 
/ shirts of tanned 
moose-skin similar 
to those used by the 
Tinné of the inte- 
rior, from whom they were probably obtained. These Eskimo also wear 
robes made from reindeer-skin tanned with the hair on. These are 
made to fasten over the shoulders by two cords, and fall behind nearly . 
to the ground like a cloak. They are usually bordered with a fringe 
formed by cutting the skin into little strips, and on the inside the 
totem signs of the owners are marked in red paint. 
From one of the Diomede islands I obtained the garment illustrated 
in plate XVI, a frock without a hood, made from the skin of a guillemot.
