"Two Chiefs" was secured by Dr. Furness from a man in Uap, probably a native of the village of Dulukan. The native name is Logaru-pilun.

"Two Chiefs" is an attractive figure, and not difficult after you have mastered the method of extension. The crossing of the strings in the first movement is found elsewhere only in the "Osage Thumb Catch." The Fourth movement resembles a characteristic Navaho movement; the result of the Sixth movement is similar to the result produced by one of the movements in the "Leashing of Lochiel's Dogs." The Ninth movement is really peculiar to this figure. We shall see the same general principle, however, applied to the Seventh movement of the Eskimo "Mouth."
