534 ARTS AND CRAFTS OF GUIANA INDIANS [BTH, ANN. 38 
BH—Slip the 2 and m out of their loops, but do not now draw the 
hands apart: it is these four loops which represent the birds. To 
indicate their having flown, the hands are drawn apart and the figure 
comes to nought. 
686. Night clouds and daylight. Pat. (figs. 303, 304). 
A long string is required. 
LH.—Put loop on back of wrist, bring round over palm on radial 
and ulnar side of 7 and m, respectively, back again through the fork 
between these digits, taking care to cross the strings at the fork, and 
then behind ¢ and 7. It is really position 2, opening B, with strings 
crossed at the fork. 
Pull out loops in front of ¢ and m with #7 and m passed proximal 
to them. 
Draw the loop at back of Z wrist over into the palm (fig. 303 A), 
WER, 
Fic, 302.—Four eaglets in nest in silk-cotton tree. (Warrau.) 
687. Place the Ri and m loops onto Li and m distal to the loops 
already there, but before letting loose with RH, and while stretched 
taut in position, hook up the va m string with back of Zt,and the wl 
string with back of Z 7 (&). Drop strings off RH and extend Lt 
and 7. Insert now the #2 and m within the raz and wl m strings (of 
the distal set of loops), and from the proximal side hook them back 
and draw out (C). Close LH and pass the proximal loops, on back 
of i and m, over the distal ones, and drop over into the palm. 
Again place the loops from i and m onto Li and m, repeating 
the process identically with preceding paragraph. 
688. It will be noticed that there is a set of three loops on back of 
tand/. Now, of each set, one has to be slipped over the others into 
the palm, but to discover the particular one requires a little care. 
Examine the figure on the palm (//), and at the base of the fork of
