Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 



V. The Two Caribou With Their Horns (Port Clarence) 



The same Port Clarence native who called "the two mountain sheep" "the 

 two rabbits" developed it into "the two caribou with their horns" by exactly the 

 same process as "the two mountain sheep" was developed from "the two bears.''

VI. The Two Brown Bears and their Cubs 



aklak aklaiyaklu (Inland and Mackenzie Eskimos). 



Make "the two brown bears." 



Reverse the little fingers in their loops. 



With the backs of the indices take up the opposite palmar strings (as in 

 Opening A). 



With the thumbs from the proximal side remove the index loops. 



With the indices from the distal side remove the little finger loops. 



Insert the little fingers from below from the proximal side into the proximal 

 thumb loops and into the index loops, and hook them down over the radial 

 index strings. 



Fig. 8 



Pass the middle fingers into the index loops from the proximal side and 

 hold down with them the distal thumb strings while with the palms of the 

 indices from the distal side you draw the upper transverse string through the 

 index loops. Drop the thumb loops.
