3. Butterfly and flying bird designs are not clearly distinguished, at 
the present time at least, for in many only the idea of motion or pose 
has been perpetuated in the design. Sketches 9-15 and 37, Figure 
105, are types of these. No. 13 occurs in single figures or in connected 
single, double, or triple horizontal lines. If in triple formation its 
butterfly significance is lost to the minds of some individuals who 
then give it such names as half circle or zigzag (cf. 87, Thompson 
sketches). No. 14 usually occurs singly. No. 15, in much smaller 
size, is always arranged in vertical series and is otherwise known 
as the goose design. (Cf. Thompson Sketches 86, 99, 714, 715, and 
fig. 103, k. Also ef. Nos. 10, 11, 12, fig. 105, with Thompson 690 
and No. 12 especially with Thompson 169, 170, and 182.) 
4. The circle design, Sketch 16, Figure 105, always horizontal, may 
be compared with Thompson Sketches 582-584 and 587. 
5. Another circle design also designated as half circle has many 
variations, some of which are shown in sketches g and h, Figure 103, 
and 17, Figure 105. These are nearly always in vertical arrange- 
ment, although they do occur singly (cf. Thompson Sketches 187-192 
and 360). No. 18, Figure 105, frequently is given this name, es- 
pecially when the two halves are widely separated or occur in detached 
figures, but when close together they are generally called mouth or 
head patterns. 
6. Apart from the last design just discussed under 5, which is called 
‘“mouth”’ or ‘‘head”’ pattern, there are two mouth designs (0 and p) 
in Figure 103. If small points occur around the margin the name 
‘‘tooth”’ is frequently substituted. (See also 38, fig. 105.) This design 
should be compared with the Thompson mouth design, Plate 50, d. 
7. A typical ‘‘head” design is that of g, Figure 103. Although 
it is said that there are variations of this, none have been noted, nor 
is it clear whether the head is that of an animal or a human being. 
8. Figure 108, J and n, are variations of the ‘‘entrail” design, 
but not & and m,® for & is a ‘‘connected zigzag,’’ while m is a “‘circle” 
pattern; 7, however, sometimes is called a ‘‘mouth” or “‘half circle” 
design. ; 
9. There is a difference of opinion about the ram’s horn design 
(19, fig. 105), since it also is known as the ‘‘mouth” or “‘half circle.” 
It occurs in detached figures (cf. Thompson 167, 168). The reason 
for its various names is that almost any figure characterized by square 
or rectangular indentations may be called a ‘‘half circle” or ‘‘mouth” 
pattern (see 36, fig. 105, the interpretation of which is not given). 
10. No. 20, Figure 105, is called a white man’s design by many 
because they claim that it has been copied from border designs on 
textile fabrics secured from the white men. Others declare that it 
is an old pattern and simply a variation of the head and mouth 
designs, which names they give toit. The arrangement is practically 
always vertical. As seen in No. 20 it is said to be the full figure. 
‘9 This is in contradiction to other information given also by Mr. Teit.
