You have "two diamonds," producing a cross in the Fig. 206 â CXXXVII. The Polar Bear This figure is called ndnoq, "polar bear," all along the coast from Barrow to Coronation gulf. Boas has the same figure, with the same name, from the west coast of Hudson bay and from Cumberland sound, Baffin island; and Kroeber found the same name for it among the Eskimos of Smith sound. Make "the two diamonds" (fig. 206). Take up with each thumb from the proximal side the top outer string of the nearer diamond and katilluik. Two intersecting strings now run from the right palmar string, one to the left hand, the other to cross the lower transverse string. Pass the right index down on the distal side of all the strings and with its palm raise up these two strings, then, passing the index through the right thumb loop, from the distal side take up with its palm the lower !e string between the two strings that loop round it. Draw this string out to the distal side of all the strings and pass the index with it back again through the thumb loop from the distal side. Drop the left little finger loop and remove with it from the distal side the right index Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Canadian Arctic Expedition (1913-1918).
