518 ARTS AND CRAFTS OF GUIANA INDIANS [ETH, ANN. 38 
BH.—Place the double loop remaining onto ¢ and 7, as in posi- 
tion 1. 
658. Two islands, joined by a log. War. (fig. 276). 
BH .—String in position 1, opening A. 
BH.—Slip loop off 7. 
BH.—Place ul i string behind 7. In each hand there is now a 
string crossing the palmar surfaces of m and 7. 
LH—Insert Rm from proximal side under this crossed string and 
draw out. 
RH.—Similarly, but taking care to pass Lm within Am loop at 
commencement of the manipulation. 
BH—Pass wl t string under (proximal to) and over (distal to) 7 
loop, and back onto ¢. 
BH —Pass ra / string under (proximal to) and over (distal to) m 
loop back onto Z. 
4H.—Bend hands and exchange loops on backs of 7 and m onto 
corresponding digits of opposite hand. 
BH.—Slip ra ¢ string off thumb and loop it over 7. It will be 
noticed that there are two ra ¢ strings on each thumb—one leading 
to the center of the figure, 
the other to the opposite 
thumb. Choose the latter 
string. 
BH.—Slip ul / string off 
7 and loop it over 7. Simi- 
larly, there are two wl / 
strings on /. Choose the 
string leading to the corre- 
sponding digit on opposite 
hand. 
Fic. 277.—The sun between two clouds. (Warrau.) BH —Of the two loops 
on back of 7 and m, pass the proximal over the distal into the 
hand. 
659. Sun, between two clouds. War. (fig. 277). 
BH.—String in position 1, opening A. 
BH.—Draw ul i string, distal to intervening strings, onto ra side 
of ¢; draw rai string distal to intervening strings onto w/ side of 7. 
Exchange loops (sec. 638) on z (A). 
RH.—Within the 7 loop pick up from distal side (or better still, 
get an assistant to do so) the w/ ¢ string and radial / string. [It will 
be noticed that there are two u/ ¢ and two ra / strings. »Choose the 
ones which are continuations of the Z index loop.] Free all three 
digits of their loops and replace on ¢ and Z the two loops of which the 
two strings just picked up constitute the respective halves.
