694 ETHNOLOGY OF THE KWAKIUTL (ETH, ANN. 85 
birth to twins does not belong to the Salmon. It is an ordinary 
child, | like other children that were born single. | 
The only thing that is different in the case of a mother of twins | is 
that the name of the preceding child is Salmon-Head; and when | 
the mother gives birth to twins, then, when Salmon-Head is ten 
months old, | his cradle is put away; and they make the two cradles | 
with notched | head-boards for cradles for the twin-children | be- 
longing to the Salmon. | They do the same as they | did before to 
the twins when they were born; and when || the twins have a 
younger brother, his name is | Salmon-Tail. Now I have finished | 
talking about twin-children. | 
Cauterizing.—The afterbirth is well washed, | and hung.up until it 
is quite dry. When it is dry, | it is folded up and put into the work- 
box | of the mother of the twins. It is kept in the box as a medi- 
cine. || The mother of the twins takes well rubbed and scraped nettle- 
bark, and | puts it into the same box. The whole tribe | know that 
the mother of twins keeps the afterbirth. She also | keeps in the 
same box a piece of cedar-wood with a hole burnt through it. | It is in 
this way: on And if a man ora woman is sick, || they 
go to the mother of twins to be | cauterized by her.
