. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. Eskimo String Figures 27 b Third Method Loop over the thumbs and indices of each hand. Close the remaining fingers of each hand over the transverse strings and turn the hands inwards and downwards so that each thumb-index loop slips off and falls over the transverse strings. "With the thumbs and indices draw out the two transverse strings. Two loops now cross the transverse strings. Shake them so that one passes over the top of the other, holding the loops meantime in the hands. With the backs of the indices take up these crossing loop strings (the side strings of a triangle), and drop the hand loops. Hold the index loops in the hands and you have "the little ; Fourth Method Position 1, left hand only. Pass the other end of the loop under the palmar string from the proximal side and lay it back on the palm, making a small circle thus:. Insert the left thimib into the circle from above ( from the outside) and the left little finger similarly on the opposite side of the two pendent strings (at X and X, Fig. 20a) and circle them upwards so that they take up the two strings at these places. The old radial thumb and little finger loops drop off in this movement; hold them in the right hand. Lay the left hand loops on the .knees and, carefully withdrawing the left thumb and little fingers, take up with the left thumb and index the old ulnar left thumb and the radial little finger strings and grasp them firmly in the hand. You have "the little ; XVI. The Little Fingek Made Double^ (Colville river Eskimos) Make "the little ; With the backs of the indices push out the sides of the triangle, then, dropping the thumb loops, take up with the thumbs from the proximal side the ulnar index strings. Pass the middle fingers from the distal side under the two transverse strings in the middle and close them against the palms. With the right thumb from
