LH.—Pass / proximal to proximal 7 loop and hook down into palm 
the distal radial 7 string. 
RH,.—Pass / proximal to proximal radial 2 string and hook down 
into palm the distal radial 7 string. 
BH—Slip loop off ¢. 
LH.—With back of ¢ hook up toward you the proximal radial 7 
string and distal w/ 7 string as they emerge beyond the string held 
down by J. 
RH.—With back of ¢ hook up toward you the 7a and wl proxi- 
mal 7 strings as they emerge beyond the string held down by JZ. 
BH —Slip off the string 
hooked down by 7. 
BH—Kach ¢ is now in a 
triangle. 
LH .—Pass / distal to proxi- 
mal w/ 7 string and with back 
of its tip hook up the string - 
Fie, 512.—Bird footprints. (Warrau.) forming the side of the tri- 
angle facing the ¢. 
RH.—Pass / distal to distal w/ 7 string and with back of its tip 
hook up the string forming the side of the triangle facing the ¢. 
2H.—Slip off loop from ¢ and rotate the hands down away from 
you and up again, so that the dorsums face you, at the same time 
stretching 7 and ¢ apart to their 
greatest extent. 
696. Bird footprints. War. 
(fig. 312). 
BH.—Position 4. 
LH—TYake distal loop and \ 
place it on / direct. Fic. 313,—Bird footprints. Little fish. 
RH—Similarly. (Patamona, ete.) 
The rest of the process is identical with preceding figure. 
697. Bird footprints, Wav. (fig. 313) ; little fishes, Pat. 
BH.—Position 4. 
LH.—Take distal loop off 7 and, passing it under (proximal to) 
proximal loop, replace on /. 
RH —Similarly. 
BH—With top of ¢, reaching above (distal to) the intervening 
strings, hook up ra / string onto ra side of ¢. 
BH.—Place 7 loop over 7 and ¢. Slip thumbs inside their own 
loops downward toward you and up again, so as to shift the ra ¢ 
string constituents into w/ ¢ string ones. There is now a triangle 
in front of each ¢. 
BH.—Placing 7 through this triangle, press it into palm and keep 
there while 7 is freed of its loop. Now rotate the hands down, away
