the tray. Take the remaining septum (E), which will finally form 
the side of the tray, and, holding it vertically along its edge, pass A 
from without inward over it, and then under D (3), pulling it (E) as 
taut as possible, and cutting it just as it emerges from underneath 
D (4). Now pass ¢ from within outward over E, and then into the 
space between itself and d. It will emerge behind C when it is 
dragged upon and temporarily left there (5). The free end of D 
is now folded from without inward over E, and then under C, 
dragged upon, and cut where it emerges (6). Then @ is similarly 
passed from within outward over E and back again between itself 
and ¢. It will emerge behind B, where it is pulled upon and left (7). 
Fold C from without inward over E, then pass it under B, and cut 
it as it emerges (8). Now pass a from within outward over E and 
back again between itself and 6. It will emerge behind D, where it is 
pulled upon and left (9). Fold B from without inward over FE, 
and then under A, cutting it as it emerges (10). Pass d from within 
outward over E and back again between itself and a. It will emerge 
behind C, where it is pulled upon and left (11). E is next finished 
with, in either one of two ways—by being passed over and under 
(12) each successive loop (i. e., over A, under c, over D, under b, 
over C, under a, over B, under d), or by being passed under each 
successive loop (15, 16). The tray is now turned over (13). Start- 
ing with 0, this is turned at an angle of 45° and passed from within 
outward under the loop formed by its strand lying immediately 
below. On emerging it is pulled upon and cut (14). The same thing 
(i e., turning up at half a right angle, etc.) is then carried out with 
a, d, and c, and the central star on the outside of the tray thus com- 
pleted (15). 
388. On the extreme western boundaries of the Guianas, on the 
Tiquie River, use is made of a miniature bark sack for carrying the 
pulverized coca (KG, 1, 267) or the lumps of carayuru paint (KG, 
1,249). The flat rectangular jaguar-skin pouch, with an overlapping 
top, met with here and there (SR, 1, 4) may possibly be of indige- 
nous origin. Cotton-woven rectangular bags (pl. 85 A,B) with cover 
flaps are made for their men by Makusi and Patamona women on 
identical pattern as the chain-stitch foot ring of the Carib, etc. (sec. 
49). On completion, the ring is sewn below to form the lower edge 
of the bag. The so-called leaf-bags (sec. 284), in which the oulin for 
mixing with tobacco is kept, like the pieces of bark in which the coca 
is preserved (sec. 287), are not really bags in the true sense of the 
term and do not call for further description. [Beyond the Guianas, 
on the Apaporis, the women knit small four-cornered purses for the 
men to carry their bead chains, fire apparatus, and other kickshaws
