of which with the Thompson see Sketch 303. Another variety is 
the same as the Thompson 286, only it is occasionally filled in with 
checks, and is found in scattered or detached arrangement. There 
is also a connected form, 30, Figure 105, which is comparable to 
the Thompson 294, 295. 
20. One variety of ‘‘stripe,”’ Figure 103, e, is found in groups of 
twos and threes, sometimes connected with a horizontal central bar. 
Another variety is shown in No. 31, Figure 105, or may even be 
further reduced to only one horizontal layer. Compare these with 
the Thompson 47-53. A diagonal arrangement has no lines appear- 
ing at right angles to the ‘‘stripes.’”’ It is like the Thompson 34, 
but longer. This variety is occasionally called lightning. 
21. For examples of tooth designs, see No. 33, Figure 105, and 
compare them with the Thompson 265-267 and 353. These patterns 
are always small and arranged horizontally. 
22. The fish bone pattern is given in 34, 35, Figure 105, as well as 
t, Figure 103(?), which is sometimes called ‘‘double.”’ 
23. The chain or rope design is generally a simple horizontal 
band which is occasionally repeated so frequently over the surface 
of the basket as to almost completely cover it. Sketches 39 and 40, 
Figure 105, are varieties of this pattern, which bear a close resem- 
blance to some of the fly figures and likewise to the Thompson 
Sketch 462. i 
The following table will give some idea of the comparative popu- 
larity of these patterns as they have been noted by Mr. Teit between 
1895 and 1910.

The typical Chilcotin burden basket is somewhat smaller than 
that of the Thompson and a little longer in proportion to its width, 
which gives it a deeper appearance than either Thompson or Lillooet 
types. The rim is usually much higher at the ends of the basket
