With the forefingers only extended, pbice the bands in front of the 

 chest, pahiis down, so that the extended fingers lie side by side, {luiio- 

 wa 1 ; Comanche III ; Apache II ; Wichita II.) " One like the other." 



The forefingers only of both hands extended, placed side by side be- 

 fore the body, palm down. [Apache I.) 



Italian nign — Lay the two forefingers together side by side. (Butler.) 

 "Union or harmony." 



Satisfied. See Glad. 



Saw. 



Same as the sign for Cheyenne Indian. (See Tribal Signs.) 

 {Dakota I.) " From the use of the saw." 



Scalp. 



(Jrasp the hair with the left hand, and with the right one flattened 

 cat away over the left. ( Wied.) Still in use. (Matthews.) Although 

 WierVs sign seems inexplicit in description, there is a remarkable simi- 

 larity in the execution and conception between that and the (Oto and 3Iis- 

 souri I.) (Boteler.) ''That ]iart removed by the knife, as represented." 



The left hand stationary, eighteen inches in front of stomach (D), as 

 though grasping the scalp-lock, and then the right hand (X), with 

 palm upward, fingers extended, pointing obliquely toward the left, is 

 passed with a backward or inward motion under the left hand from in 

 front of it, .just as though drawing the knife inward in scalping. (Da- 

 kota I.) " From the act of scalping." 



Eapidly carry the left hand to the front of the upper part of the chest 

 and close it, back forward, as if grabbing the hair ; then draw the right 

 hand, palm downward, from left to right beneath it, as if cutting. (Da- 

 kota IV.) 



The left hand is raised to the vertex of the head and seizes the hair 

 called by the Indians the scalp-lock ; thus firmly held, the right is raised 

 and edgewise executes a severing sweep around the forehead. (Oto 

 and Missouri I.) "That which is removed as represented." 



Grasp the hair on the top or right side of the head with the left hand 

 then draw the flat right hand with the edge toward and across the side 

 of the head from behind forward. (Pai-Ute I.) 



Scarce, Pew. 



Place the hand in the position given for Come, when it is moved 

 from side to side, arrested in its motion at intervals, and where so 

 arrested is depressed an inch or two. (Mandan and Hidatsa I.)
