In the drawing- here shown the weft is su])posed to Ix' untwisted, and the whole is enlarged in order toexhilnt the texture, ^^'hen com- plete the warp is driven close together and the little sticks of alder or willow forming the warp are left protruding. In the following illustration the same principle obtains of making little or no change in the finishing. but the technic is three-strand instead of two-strand. The figure repi-esents a section of a meal l>owl of the CVyal Pomo, Cat. No. 2();328T. which was collected by .1. A^'. Hud- son. (See tig. ()S.) Plate 3-i makes evident the dilier- ence between the plain twined bor- der and the three-strand border. In the upper ligure the inside of the basket is exhil)ited and the effect is that of common two-strand twine, but in the lower figure the three-strand twine a])pears in a single i-ow of weaving on the upper border. The cutting of!' of the margin is also shown. It is to he undei-stood that the trimming of the ends of the warp stems is not done until all tlie weaving is entirely finished. The Hupa Indians in some cases finish the bordi^rs of twined work by bending down the ends of the war}) and wrapping or seizing them with splints of wil- low or other tough material. An inch of the border in a l)asket of the liay collection in the U. S. National Museum is shown. (See hg. 00 and Plate ITO.) Another example of this wov- en and coiled work is shown. The l)asket (Cat. No. 08491, ) is the work of the Zufii Indians of New Mexico. It will be seen that the l
