150 GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS [ETH Any. 24 
Doctor Palmer states: 
A space of 10 square feet is inclosed by holes made in the ground [figure 
173]. At opposite corners on the outside are two 
semicircular rows of five holes each. At the begin- 
fo) fo} ning a marking-stick is put into the center hole, A, of 
00000 909000 each semicirele, and the point is to play around the 
a square, and back again to the center hole. Hach pair 
oO of players moves the pegs in opposite directions, and 
© whenever the count is made that would bring the 
stick to the hole occupied by that of the antagonist, 
he is sent back to his original starting place. 
The counts are as follows: Four round sides up, 
counts 10; four flat sides up, 5. When only one flat 
side is up, it counts whatever is marked on it; any 
three counts 3, and any two, 2.
