LH—With RH pick up within the 7 loop, from distal side, the w/ ¢ 
string and va / string. Free all three digits of their loops, dropping 
the z loop altogether but replacing those on ¢ and 7. 
RH.—Similarly. 
671. Four fish “marching.” Aka., Ara., Mak., Wap., Pat. (FEL) 
(fig. 289). 
BH.—Position 2. 
LH.—Hook ul string, drawn proximal to ra string, over /. 
LH—Insert / under ra 7 string, from proximal side, and draw 
out. 
BH—Shift loop from back over wrist onto 7. 
BH.—Hook up ra / string distal to intervening strings, so as to 
get it onto ra side of ¢. 
BH.—Place i loop over ¢ and ¢. Slip thumbs inside their own 
loops downward, toward you, and upward again. 
BH —Passing i through triangle in front of ¢, press it into the 
palm, at the same time slipping / out of its own loops.

the same time stretching 
i and ¢ apart as much as 
possible. 
672. Monkey. War., Ara., Pat., Mak. (fig. 290). Caterpillar of 
the Rio Aiary (KG, 1, 23). 
LH .—Position 2. Loop its extremity over the Z wrist held hori- 
zontally (A); place the right wrist vertically into the two dependent 
loops; separate hands and place them in usual position; i. e., on the 
same horizontal level. 
RH—Rotate the wrist once inward, downward, and upward. 
LH—Similarly. 
A “St. Andrew’s cross” kind of figure is now produced (2). 
FH,.—Pick up the convergent strings ab, place them on either side 
of 7 and m, and bring them out from the fork between these same 
two fingers. 
LH—Similarly. 
BH.—Pass cross loops at backs of wrists over fingers onto the 
palms. There are now two loops on each hand. 
RH—Passing t¢ over, i. e., distal to i loop and ra m string, hook 
up ul m string onto radial side of ¢t. Passing top of 7 distal to ra m 
and u/7 string, hook up ra 7 string onto u7 side of 7. 
LH.—Similarly. 
LH —Close. Raise loops on back of 7 and m. Insert into them 
Riand m, draw out and open LH. 
Fic. 289.—Four fish ‘‘ marching.” (Akawai.)
