Eskimo String Figures 155 B Turning the palms downward lay the figure on the knees, then take it up again, inserting the indices from above into the more distant corner loops and the little fingers from below into the nearer. You have "the man paddling in his ;. Fig. 204 In the middle of the figure there are two parallel transverse strings. With the thumbs from the proximal side take up these strings, then the radial index strings; navaho the thumbs, drop the index loops and transfer the thumb loops to the indices. (The Barrow and Inland natives, as well as the Cape Prince of' Wales Eskimo from whom Dr. Gordon obtained the figure, reach this stage thus: Position 1. With the backs of the thumbs from the distal side take up the opposite ulnar little finger strings and drop the little finger loops. Hold the thumb loops in the palms of the hands and, inserting the little fingers into the thumb loops from the proximal side, move them towards the middle, allow the lower transverse string to slip off, then hook their palms down over it. Pass the indices into the thumb loops from the distal side and with their palms draw through the distal radial strings (the diagonal strings). Drop the thumb loops. This brings you to the same stage as by the Indian point method.) With the palms of the thumbs from the proximal side take up the strings which run from the lower transverse string to the middle of the upper trans- verse string (the two sides of the triangle). With the thumbs from the proximal side take up the radial index strings, navaho the thumbs, drop the index loops and transfer the thumb loops to the indices. A loop passes round the lower transverse string on each side. Pass the thumbs into these from the inner side, take up with their backs the distal string of each, then from the proximal side the radial index string of each hand. Navaho the thumbs, drop the index loops and transf
