. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. Eskimo String Figures 53 b Opening A. Pass the middle fingers into the little finger loops from the distal side and with their palms take up the ulnar thumb string on one side and the radial index string on the other (the same string, but the one of the two diagonals which passes over the other). Drop the little finger loops. Turn the middle fingers down and insert the ring and little fingers into the middle finger loops froih the proximal side, releasing the middle fingers. The ulnar left index string crosses over and loops round the radial right index string, then runs under the ulnar right thumb string to the left palmar string. Bring the left index across and with its palm take up this string just before it passes under the ulnar right thumb string, and return. Pass the right middle finger into the right thumb loop from the proximal side ( so that the back of the middle finger pushes out the ulnar right thumb and the radial and ulnar right index strings) and draw across with its palm the two radial left index strings. Similarly pass the left middle finger into the left index loops and with its palm take across the right ulnar thumb string, drawing it through the left index loops.* Pass the left thumb into the left middle finger loop from the distal side and draw through with its back the radial right index string Just where it loops round the two ulnar left index strings. Drop all the loops on the right hand except the little finger loop, and the ring, middle and index loops of the left hand. Dropping the left thiunb loop, with the left thumb and index take hold of what was the radial right index string, and with the right thumb and index take hold of the same string after it loops round another string. Separate the two hands, placing these loops on the thumbs. You have "the ;. Fig. 55 The Inland Eskimos continue as follows: There are two strings which run from each
