 within the etching of the leaves is carefully removed. If the colors 

 are to be reversed it is necessary to remove all the surface except that 

 within the etching. As indicated, if the makuk is to be filled with 

 fresh sugar it is finished at the camp, but if the article is to be for 

 some general purpose, the woman does the part of the work which 

 must be done while the bark is fresh and takes the article with her, 

 to finish at leisure. The completion can not, however, be deferred 

 too long or the dark surface of bark can not be removed with 

 neatness.
