STRING FIGURES

TWO FOXES

This is another Klamath figure, secured in the same way as the two preceding games.

The first nine movements are the same as the first nine movements of the "Rattlesnake and a Boy."

Tenth: The same as the Twelth movement of the "Two Skunks." The figure is then extended by drawing the hands apart (Fig. 253 ) .

TWO SQUIRRELS

This is the last of the "Rattlesnake" series of Klamath figures, obtained by Mr. John L. Cox, from Emma Jackson of Oregon.

First: Hold the string between the tips of the thumb and index of each hand, so that a short piece passes between the hands and a long loop hangs down. Make a small ring, hanging down in the short string, putting the right hand string away from you over the left hand string. Put both thumbs away from you through the small loop and both little fingers away from you through the long hanging loop (Fig. 254), and separate the hands (Fig. 255).

Second: Now go through all the movements of the "Two Foxes" including Opening A, to the very end. Remember that you have two near thumb strings; these must be considered throughout as one string (Fig. 256).
