. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. Eskimo String Figures 85 b APPENDIX FIGURES BEGINNING WITH A MODIFICATION OF OPENING A LXXIII.

All have the same mean- ing, "; I have never seen the Coronation gulf natives make the com- plete figure; they carry out half the movements and obtain a result approxi- mately the same. Another figure, "the angry man" (see No. LXXIV) would be exactly the same but for an introductory movement which occurs, so far as I am aware, in but two other figures (Nos. LXXV and CLI). But "the angry man" is known on both the Siberian and Alaskan coasts, where it is accompanied by chants. found in the Mackenzie also, but the chant is almost absent, while in Coronation gulf the figure appears to be altogether unknown. This suggests that "the squirrel" originated, or was at least preserved, among the western Eskimos, and was handed on by them to their eastern kinsmen. Position 1. Revolve the right hand once in a clockwise direction. With the backs of the indices take up the opposite palmar strings as in Opening A. Pass the thumbs down distal to the radial index strings and with their backs from the proximal side take up the ulnar little finger strings and return. Drop all but the two loops on each thumb; hold these in the hands, make Opening A again, and repeat the Fig. 101.
