280 COILED BASKETRY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA [eTH, ANN. 41 
The distances between the different vertical rows vary from 4 to 
about 10 stitches, showing that the circumference division for spac- 
ing the figures is in this case not very accurate. The colors em- 
ployed are white, red, and black, and the succession is as shown in 
Figure 68, 6, and is adhered to throughout the whole basket, each 
vertical row being always executed in the same colors, with one excep- 
tion, which is obviously the result of an early mistake on the part of 
the basket maker. The red in this row (see ¢) is applied in the same 
fashion as the black in other rows on either side of a white imbricated 
stitch, instead of between two white ones. The open spaces near the

rim are filled out by incomplete vertical rows, as illustrated in Figure 
68, c. Three of these spaces are at corners; the fourth, however, is 
several inches away from the corner which itself has no open space. In 
contradistinction to the basket pictured in Figure 67, the blocks of 
the fillers of Figure 68 are at the same coil level! as the blocks of the 
full series and are on the whole better arranged than those on the 
former basket. The arrangement of colors in the blocks of the fillers 
is interesting and may be seen in sketch d. It is consistent for all 
fillers. An odd feature is a fifth filler ornamented with only one 
block at the rim.
