LIPAN.

With the index and second fingers only extended and separated, hold

the hand at arm's length to the front of the left side; draw it back

in distinct jerks; each time the hand rests draw the fingers back

against the inside of the thumb, and when the hand is again started

on the next movement backward snap the fingers to full length. This

is repeated five or six times during the one movement of the hand. The

country which the Lipans at one time occupied contained large ponds or

lakes, and along the shores of these the reptile was found which gave

them this characteristic appellation. (_Kaiowa_ I; _Comanche_ III;

_Apache_ III; _Wichita_ II.) "Frogs." Fig. 294.
