(Sec. 358) jThe Waiwai and Taruma sifter, also known as manari to these people, consists of a sifter proper intimately attached to a circular supporting framework about 6 or 7 inches deep (pi. 8) made of itiriti. The body of the sifter proper is divided into four or more squares limited by treble sets of strands varying in arrangement according as the general plait is a two-over-two or a three-over-three one. To insure larger apertures between the meshwork, the strands, before being plaited together, are shaved down for about a third of their length at their centers. On completion of the sifter proper, which is on similar lines with that described in section 357, Figure 87 (WER, vii), three strands (in the larger articles, or two in the smaller ones) are taken up at a time, and, starting from left to right, rolled as one over the rail (fig. 30).
