CHAPTER IV
17/39

The size of the meshes of all the nets depends upon the game to be taken; generally they are small.

Neat, and variously striped baskets and mats are made by the women of certain tribes, from rushes, or a broad-leaved description of grass.

The kallater is a round basket, wide at the base, and tapering upwards; its size varies.

The poola-danooko is a very pretty looking, flat, oval basket, adapted for laying against the back.

The poneed-ke is a large, flat, circular mat, worn over the back and shoulders, and when tied by a band round the waist affords a lodging for an infant.
