Kept. 1881, pi. 14, fig. 25. this figure that one row inclines to the right, the one above it to the left, and so on alternately. This was occasioned by the weaver's pass- ing from side to side of the square carrying basket, and not all the way round as usual. The work is similar to that in an old-fashioned bird cage where the upright and hori- zontal wires are held in place by a wrapping- of liner soft wire. The typical example of this wrapped or bird-cage twine is to be seen among the Indians of the Wakashan family living about Neah Bay, Vancouver Island, and southwestern British Columbia (fig. 21). In this type the warp and the horizontal strip behind the warp are both in soft cedar bark. The wrapping is done with a tough straw-colored grass. When the weaving is beaten home tight the surface is not unlike that of a fine tiled roof, the stitches overlying each other with perfect regularity. Fig. 22 shows a square inch of the inside of a basket, with plain twined weaving in the two rows at the top; plain twined weaving in which each turn passes over two warp rods in four rows just below, f I In the middle of the figure, at the right side, it will be seen how the wrapped or bird-cage twined work appears on the inside, and in the lower right-hand corner is the inside view of diagonal twined weaving. In the exquisite piece from which this drawing was made, the skillful woman has combined four styles of two-ply twined weaving. On the outside of the basket these various meth- ods stand for delicate patterns in color (fig. 19). 4. Lattice-twined weaving.— The lattice-twined weaving, so far as the collections of the U. S. National Museum show, is con- fined to the Pomo Indians, of the Kulanapan family, residing on Rus- sian River, California. Dr. J. W. Hudson calls this technic tee. This is a short and convenient word, and
