principles as the preceding, save that a single warp is taken up at a 
time (fig. 197), alternately one from the back and one from the front 
set. It must be remembered, however, that in the last bar on the ex- 
treme right and left two warps are taken up at a time, a front and a 
back one. As a result, these two bars are shorter than the inter- 
mediate ones, thus as- 
sisting in giving shape 
to the hammock when 
completed. The bars 
(wefts) are usually 
woven from below up. 
The warp is here made 
of ite fiber and the four 
weft strands (bar) of 
cotton. The reason 
given for the employ- 
ment of cotton is that, 
owing to the increased 
friction, there is no 
chance of the weft slip- 
ping along the warp.

and other Carib, and I believe also by certain Makusi, similar to the 
preceding sarau (sec. 463). Here, except with the extreme right and 
left bars, which are manufactured on identical lines, only one warp 
is taken up at a time, but alternately for each bar (fig. 198). In other

words, starting, say, from below up, with any particular bar, the 
four weft strands will inclose warps 1, 3, 5, etc., but in the adjoining 
one the warps taken up will be 2, 4, 6, etc., in the next one warps 
1,3, 5, etc., again, and so on. The result of this arrangement is that, 
what with the resiliency, overlapping of the warps, and closeness of 
the texture, the bars are only visible on the one (the outer) side of
