400 PICTURE-WRITING OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS. 
Fig. 521 shows tattoo designs upon the leg. These represent mét, the 
mountain goat. 
It is seldom that double designs occur on the extremities, such being 
reserved for the breast and back, but an instance was noted, repre- 
sented in Fig. 522, which is a representation of hélinga, the thunder- 
bird, and was on the left arm of a man. 
One of the most conspicuous examples of the art observed among the 
party of traveling Haidas mentioned, was that of a double raven tattooed 
upon the breast of Makdé/gos, copied here as Fig. 523. 
Fic. 521.—Haida tattoo, mountain goat. Fic. 524.—Haida tattoo, dogfish 
Upon the back of this Indian is also the figure of kahatta, the dog-fish, 
Fig. 524. In addition to these marks he bears also upon his extremi- 
ties totemic and mythic animals. ; 
Sometimes the simple outline designs employed in tattooing are 
painted upon property belonging to various persons, such as boats, 
housefronts, ete. In such instances colors are employed that could 
not be used in tattooing. One fine example of such is presented in PI. 
XxIy and another of more elaborate design in Pl. xxv.
