Again place the two #H loops over, and proximal to, the LH 
dorsal 2 and m loops. 
Take up the distal loops on back of ZH z and m with backs of cor- 
responding fingers on RH and after drawing out, slip remaining 
loops over into LH palm. The frog’s legs are characteristic. 
646. Palm tree. Ara., Pat., Tau. (fig. 264). 
Place string in position 1 on both hands. 
RH —With left m hook up # palmar string from its proximal 
side, taking care, while drawing it out, to twist Lm out, down, in, 
and up. 
,LH.—With Rm, passed through L7 loop, execute a similar manipu- 
lation. 
LH.—Drop off ¢ and /. The loops represent fronds. 
Fic, 265.—Palm tree. (Makusi, etc.) 
647. Palm. Wap., Mak., Tau. (fig. 265). 
L#.—Position 1. Twist palmar string in the direction of a screw 
and place it on ¢ and 7. The other end of the string is placed over 
the right wrist. 
LH.—With back of tips of 2i and m hook up the two halves of the 
crossed strings from the proximal side so that the “ cross” is between 
these two fingers. 
LH.—Remove proximal radial ¢ string and proximal w/ string into 
palm. 
RH Remove loops from back of 7 and m onto Zi and m, and 
return sharply. 
648. Two palms with intervening path. Car., Mak., Pat., Wap. 
(fig. 266). Lutz describes the figure as roots, trunk, and tree (FEL). 
&£H—String in position 1. 
RH.—Pull out palmar string, twist clockwise into a loop (4), and 
place the loop over ¢ and 7 (B). 
LH,—Similarly.
