her husband, obeys the taboos. | When she is pregnant again, the 
15 woman || and her husband, paint their faces with ochre, when 
daylight comes in the | morning, and they wear around their heads 
rings of red cedar-bark, with | one white tail-feather of the eagle

pregnancy; | and when the child is born, is at once given the name 
20 Salmon-Tail if it is a boy; || and if it is a girl, it is called Salmon-Tail- 
Woman. | Then they take one of the cradles with notched head- 
board | of the twin brothers for the cradle of Salmon-Tail, and they | 
do everything to him as they did to his elder brothers, the | twins.

cradle. They take the cradles with notched head-boards | to the 
cedar-bark cave. | 
I have forgotten this. When the twins are ten months old,— | 
that is, if they are recognized as olachens by an old man, one of 
twins— | generally this is a pair of twins, consisting of a boy and a 
30 girl,— || and leg-rings and arm-rings are put on them, | an old man, 
one of twins, is called to give them a name obtained from the olachen. 
Then he looks at their hands; and when he sees that the twins have | 
small hands, the old man, one of a pair of twins, says to the | boy,
