' The method of counting on the fingers is as follows : they commence with the little finger of the left hand, 

 closing each finger as it is counted ; then pass from the left thumb, which counts five, to the right thumb, which 

 counts six, and so on to the little finger of the right hand, which counts ten. I have sometimes seen Indians 

 commence counting with the little finger of the right hand, but it is invariably the custom to commence with that 

 finger instead of a thumb.
