. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. 26 b Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 SUBSECTION THE LITTLE FINGER CYCLE XV. The Little 'Fisg^b. = diqojaq (Barrow, Inland and Point Hope Eskimos)' The Anus = diq (Mackenzie and Coronation gulf) Opening A. Pass the ring fingers from the distal side into the little finger loops and take up from the distal side, behind all the other strings, the radial thmnb string. Drop the thumb loops. Again insert the ring fingers from the distal side into the little finger loops, and, releasing the little fingers, insert them from the proximal side into the ring finger loops. Pass the thumbs over the radial index strings and take up with them from the proximal side the two radial ring finger strings. Drop the index loops. Pass the indices from the distal side into the thumb loops and twist their backs round the two strings that run medially from the palmar strings. Drop the thumb and the little finger loops; pass the remaining three fingers of each hand into the index loops, and grasp with them the radial strings. A triangle is formed in the middle, with its apex pointing downwards; by see-sawing the hands it can be made larger or smaller. Let some other person pass his little finger into the triangle; then distend the ulnar strings so that the finger,is nipped tight. It can be released, however tightly held, by bending it round, passing it between the two ulnar strings that cross on the outside of the other two, then bending it back again, when it slips out quite Fig. 20 "The little finger" can be made in a variety of ways, of which three are given below. It is the starting point of a number of figures, while, on the other hand, two or three completed figures, "the fish-net," can be converted into "the little ; A Point Hope native, who had learned the European figure commonly known as "the cat's cradle," converted that also into "th
