“beavers’ tails.””. Compare 11, Figure 106, with p, Figure 107. The 
latter is called mountains or snakes. Both usually occur at equi- 
distant points all around the circumference. Sketch 12, Figure 106, 
or d, Figure 107, are often seen in pairs. The last of these is called 
fish ribs. Sketch 13, Figure 106, is undoubtedly related to sketch 
ce, Figure 107, as we have noted elsewhere. Both are called net 
designs. 
The designs 14 and 15, Figure 106, seem to be related to 16 of 
the same figure, as far as structure goes, and also to w, Figure 107, 
but the interpretations are different. Sketch 14, Figure 106, is 
known as flies, while for 15 no name has been secured. There is a 
suggestion that 16 is a tree design, as are w and cc in Figure 107; 
w, however, is also known as the backbone of a fish. 
Sketches 17, Figure 106, and e, Figure 107, are “ribs” and are 
used in horizontal bands. 
Not more than one row of such figures as 18’, 18’’, Figure 106, occur 
in a field. These may be related to such patterns as 15, or g, Figure 
107. The latter sketch is the curious figure which so frequently 
appears on Tlingit basketry in many different colors. 
The trapezoidal figure, sketch 19, Figure 106, is known among 
the Chilcotin as a bear’s foot pattern. 
Nothing is given about the arrangements of 20 and 23, Figure 
106. The little design 22 is used in a narrow horizontal band at the 
top. (See pl. 58,¢.) Sketches 24 and 25 show patterns which occur 
near the rims. The latter is thought to be part of a net design. 
The points on the hourglass figures, Sketch 26, vary, but the average 
is about five. 
The following table refers the reader to similar figures among the 
Thompson and Lillooet, where these exist.

1 The diamond is a very common element here, as it is with the Thompson, but the arrangements are a 
little different. 
? The flattened diamond also occurs in all three tribes. _ 
5 The Thompson have inlaid designs on pipes exactly like f and f’. . 
4 All the variations are found among the Thompson and most of them among the Lillooet.
