. Bulletin. Ethnology. BULL. 30] SLEEPING WOLF SLEEPY EYES 601 hauled. The simplest forma are smooth, flat substances, sometimes even blocks of ice; there is one consisting of a few plates of baleen stitched together; others are elaborately constructed. Uniform widths were adopted to enable them to follow the same tracks. Owing to frost and strain treenails and pegs were little used in construction; only lashings of good. CENTRAL ESKIMO SLEDGE (.BOAs) rawhide thongs would hold them to- gether. In the use of these the makers were as ingenious at seizing and making knots as the Pacific islanders. The parts of a sled are the runners, shoes, crossbars, handles, lashings, lines, traces, toggles, packing, webbing, and braces. These belong to the fully equipped sled, which is a marvel of convenience, but some of them may be wanting. There are four plans of construction besides numerous makeshifts: (1) The bed lashed to solid runners; (2) the bed on pairs of bent sticks spliced together or arched and fas- tened below to runners; (3) the bed rest- ing on a square mortised frame, probably an introduced type; (4) the bed flat on the ground, the toboggan. In. the E., the Eskimo, being in some places poorly provided with wood, made sled runners.
