Some interesting varieties of the flying-bird design are shown in 
Figure 96, a, b, ec. These were used on baskets in vertical rows. 
Another basket about 30 years old was profusely decorated with 
nine different designs in vertical rows. These included b and ¢ and 
the remaining seven patterns seen in Figure 96. 
In Figure 97 are a number of patterns, some of which are used else-

woman. About half a century ago, around 1870, when she was a 
young woman, there was a fashion still in vogue of not imbricating 
the lower portion of the basket walls, but a space about the width 
of the hand was left bare above the beaded line which defines the 
limits of the bottom. This type of arrangement had been much 
more popular at an earlier date. (See pp. 230 et seq.) 
The earth-lodge designs in Figure 98 are also from Lytton.
