It is also found among some of the coastal tribes and among the Chilcotin De"ne\ but is truly characteristic only of the Lower Fraser area. (I) Grass-coil foundation. This style of work differs from the last only in the nature of its foundation, which is here composed of bunches of grass or rush stems and suchlike soft substances. This kind of basketry was not in general use in this area, being found only among certain of the coastal Salish. The examples known of this work are in the form of cr...adles and the coils are large, having a diameter of nearly an inch, and stitched together with threads made from the stalk of the wild nettle. Specimens of this class of basketry are found in some of the rural H2 BRITISH NORTH AMERICA districts of England. The old-fashioned straw, dome- like bee-hive is made in this manner. When coiled basketry is well made, especially with the splint foundation, it will hold liquids without difficulty. In some areas where basket-ware took the place and filled the uses of earthen-ware, the natives lined the insides of their baskets with pitch, gum, or some other adhesive and coating substance ; but the Salish coiled basketry was so beautifully made that it would hold water without any assistance of this kind.
