CoMPARISON OF DEsIGN ARRANGEMENTS AND ORNAMENTATION 
Regarding the relative frequency of the different arrangements of 
designs on Thompson baskets, and for purposes of comparison with the 
methods employed by three other well-known basket-making tribes 
of this region, the Lillooet, Chilcotin, and Klickitat, the following 
notes are given which Mr. Teit has gathered during a number of 
years. The Thompson baskets are from all sections of the tribe, 
undifferentiated; most of them are in the possession of Indians, some 
belong to small private collections, and some to the museums (chiefly 
Chicago). The Klickitat baskets were mostly in private collections 
or in the possession of Indians. The same may be said of the Lil- 
looet baskets, although some of their specimens were seen among 
bands of the Shuswap.
