Grass-coil Imsketry.—The foundation is a bunch of grass or rush stems, of small midribs from palm leaves, or shredded yucca. The effect in all such ware is good, for the reason that the maker has per- fect control of her material. Excellent examples of this kind are to be seen in the southwestern portions of the United States, among the pueblos and missions, and in northern Africa. The sewing maj^ be done with split stems of hard wood, willow, rhus, and the like, or, as in the case of the Mission baskets in southern California, of the stems of rushes {Juncus acntxis)., or stiff grass {Eplcainjjes rigiduiv).
