248 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL [BTH. ANN. 85 
32 As soon as the autumn comes, when the halibut are really fat, | 
the fishermen go out again to fish halibut for food in | winter. Their 
35 wives take out the stomachs and || cut off the gills, and they split 
them open and spread them out on the beach; and they | spread 
them right over the fire of the house, so as to dry them; | that is

45 fins.’’ || Then she takes the ribs and hangs them up, in the same way 
as I | have said before [p. 244]; and this is called “ribs.” | And she 
takes the rough-edges and ties them together at the tail-ends, and
