interesting since dissimilar motions by the two hands produce a sym¬ 
metrical result. (Fig. 33.) 
A third form of the figure is known in Africa. 
1. Opening A. 
2. Release the loops from the little fingers and draw taut. 
3. Insert the index fingers from below into the thumb loops and 
transfer them to the index fingers, thus leaving the thumbs and other 
fingers free. 
4. Insert the thumbs from above into the lower index loop, and pick 
up on the back of the thumbs the lower far index string, returning the 
thumbs to their position. 
5. Insert the thumbs from above into the upper index loop, and pick 
up on their backs the upper far index string, and return them to their 
position. 
6. Pass the ring fingers over the upper near index string and down 
behind the lower near index string, picking up the latter on the backs of 
the fingers as they are returned to their position. 
7. Pick up with the lips the lower near thumb string of both hands, 
and lift it over the upper string and the tip of the thumb, dropping it on the 
palmar side (that is, navaho the thumb strings). 
8. Keeping the strings drawn tight, swing the left hand down, and 
turn it palm upwards with the fingers pointing away from you ; turn the 
right hand palm downwards with the fingers pointing towards you, and the 
completed figure appears. (Fig. 34.)
