17. Wa’iwai ‘J)_-__| False (foot)___| A variety of the ‘‘foot” or ‘‘false foot’”’ 
may be seen on the upper figure, Pl. 91, 
Mason.‘ The other design on the same 
basket is ‘‘finger-nail”’ or ‘‘eye.”’ 
18. Ti’ktltuk_____- Imprint of | There is no photograph of this. The de- 
stroke.® sign is said also to have occurred on 
coiled basketry. 
19. Pweikfki___-_-_ Seratch— =. --_ I did not see any baskets with this de- 
sign. One woman called the design on 
68, g, ‘‘zigzag scratch.” 
ADRES (VU torts I heard of another design called ‘‘feath- 
ers,” “narrow feathers,” but did not see 
any examples. It was used on both 
baskets and bags. 
; = age design shows the “‘foot,”” while in the ‘false foot’? on Mr. Sargent’s basket the “‘foot’’ is 
jacking. 
5 Same as marks left on asoft substance after having been struck by a stick. 
Women and girls made all the woven baskets and bags, but hide 
bags were sometimes made by men. It seems the simplest form of 
the design element is called a ‘‘true’”’ design. In some cases the most 
common but not necessarily the simplest or original ‘‘false’”’ design, 
seems to be that variation of the pattern which is most curtailed or 
conventionalized. It is thus generally furthest removed from the 
‘‘true’”’ design, but at the same time becomes a recognized standard 
pattern. Designs regarded as a whole, apart from the element, are 
designated by compound descriptive terms; for example, the ele- 
ment may be called ‘‘zigzag,’’ but the name of the design itself may 
be ‘‘spiral zigzag short turn,” or ‘‘zigzag connecting up and down.” 
There are many such terms qualified as ‘‘true,’’ ‘‘false,” ‘‘not true,’’ 
“short turn,’ ‘‘double,” ‘‘large,’’ ‘‘small,’’ ‘‘connecting,”’ ‘‘con- 
necting up and down,” or ‘‘above and below,’ ‘‘perpendicular,”’ 
“zigzag,” “diagonal,” ‘‘sharp point,” ‘‘close together,” ‘‘detached.” 
I did not try to list these, but merely noted some of those I heard. 
Designs on wallets —The Klickitat admit that they know very 
little regarding designs on bags and that the interpretations of 
the designs by the people who made them may be in some cases differ- 
ent from theirs. Those on the small bags formerly made by them 
were copied from the Yakima who they think probably made the 
bags shown in Plates 64 and 65, although it is possible that they are 
of Nez Percé or Umatilla manufacture. As pattern names were 
mentioned ‘‘spiral’”’ and ‘‘arrowhead.”’ I could obtain no explana- 
tion of any of those given in Farrand’s book. Bag designs made at 
the present day are the same in character as those produced many
