Pass the right thumb in between the two loops that pass round the lower 

 transverse string near the right hand, and draw out, with the right thumb below 

 them, the two strings just above them which run, one from the lower transverse 

 string, the other from the right palmar string, to loop round the upper trans- 

 verse string. 



With the right thumb from the proximal side take up the radial right index 

 loop. Navaho the thimib, and drop the index loop. Drop the little finger loop 

 of the left hand, and hold the left thumb loop in the left hand. 



You have "the musk-ox calf."

C. The Fox With and Without its Ears 



This is a rather complicated figure developed from the simple figure of "the 

 dog" or "the fox" which is known all along the coast. "The fox," first without 

 its ears, then with them (teriydn-iaq dutdik), appears to be known to the Copper 

 Eskimos only. The character of the movements is not remarkable. 



Make "the fox" (No. XCV), but without dropping the left little finger loop. 



Pass the right index into the right little finger loop from' the distal side, 

 raise with it the radial little finger and the ulnar thumb strings, then with its 

 palm from the distal side take up the radial thumb string. 



Pass the right thumb loop down on the proximal side of all the strings, 

 pressing its ulnar string before it, and take up with it from below the right ulnar 

 little finger string. 



Drop that little finger loop and remove the right thumb lopp to the little 

 finger from the proximal side. 



A triangle or quadrilateral is now formed in the middle. 



With the right thumb from the proximal side take up the string which runs 

 from the lower transverse string to the upper transverse string (the lower left 

 side of the quadrilateral), then the string running from the right palm to the 

 upper transverse string (the upper right side of the quadrilateral). 



With the right thumb from the proximal side take up the radial right index 

 string, navaho the two proximal thumb strings and drop the index loop.
