are to be conceived as having their heads joined. Rec- 

 tangular red marks all around the edge of the beaded 

 krea represent a fence, symbolized by its posts. The four 

 ornaments standing up above this beaded field represent 

 worms. On the flap of the cover, and just below, are white 

 stripes. On these are designs of mountains ; in the middle of 

 the stripe on the cover is a small checkered ornament which 

 represents rocks. 



In another toilet- 

 pouch (Fig. 26) 

 three crosses repre- 

 sent, as usual, the 

 morning star, and 

 four three - pronged 

 ornaments denote 

 bear-claws. In two 

 square areas, situ- 

 ated between the 

 bear-foot orna- 

 ments, pink trian- 

 gular surfaces rep- 

 resent tents, while 

 the blue and white 

 diagonals separating 

 them are trails. A 

 dark - blue line en- 

 closing all the orna- 

 ments that have 

 been mentioned sig- 

 nifies mountain- 

 ranges. Two H- 

 shaped marks near 

 the top of the pouch 



represent racks for drying meat. On the white stripe upon 

 the cover are mountains (represented by triangles) and lakes 

 (represented by squares). 



Fig. 27 illustrates a toilet-pouch' somewhat larger than most 



' In the specimen itself there is a pleasing contrast between the brown leather and 

 the white beadwork, which is not indicated in the illustration.
