this figure that one row inclines to the right, the one above it to the 

 left, and so on alternately. This was occasioned by the weaver's pass- 

 ing from side to side of the square carrying basket, and not all the way 

 round as usual. The work is similar to that in an old-fashioned bird 

 cage where the upright and hori- 

 zontal wires are held in place by a 

 wrapping- of liner soft wire. The 

 typical example of this wrapped or 

 bird-cage twine is to be seen among 

 the Indians of the Wakashan family 

 living about Neah Bay, Vancouver 

 Island, and southwestern British 

 Columbia (fig. 21). 



In this type the warp and the 

 horizontal strip behind the warp 

 are both in soft cedar bark. The 

 wrapping is done with a tough 

 straw-colored grass. When the 

 weaving is beaten home tight the 

 surface is not unlike that of a fine 

 tiled roof, the stitches overlying each other with perfect regularity. 

 Fig. 22 shows a square inch of the inside of a basket, with plain 

 twined weaving in the two rows at the top; plain twined weaving in 

 which each turn passes over two warp rods in four rows just below, 

 f I In the middle of the figure, at the 



right side, it will be seen how 

 the wrapped or bird-cage twined 

 work appears on the inside, and 

 in the lower right-hand corner is 

 the inside view of diagonal twined 

 weaving. In the exquisite piece 

 from which this drawing was 

 made, the skillful woman has 

 combined four styles of two-ply 

 twined weaving. On the outside 

 of the basket these various meth- 

 ods stand for delicate patterns in 

 color (fig. 19). 



4. Lattice-twined weaving. — 

 The lattice-twined weaving, so 

 far as the collections of the U. S. 

 National Museum show, is con- 

 fined to the Pomo Indians, of the Kulanapan family, residing on Rus- 

 sian River, California. Dr. J. W. Hudson calls this technic tee. This 

 is a short and convenient word, and ma}^ be used for a specific name. 

 The tee twined weaving consists of four elements — {a) the upright warp
