A spring frock from Iglulik is cut square at the bottom and has slits both in front and behind and in the sides; at the bottom, round the hood and on the sleeves is a broad, white edging with black stripe; fringes quite without hair; length in front 83 cm, back 1.15 m, width over-all 1.45 m; cut as the preceding frock.

Fig. 104.Cut of man's outer frock.

Fig. 107 (Iglulingmiut, Ponds Inlet) differs from all the other frocks I have seen in that the white stripes which edge the slits front, back and sides, are continued right up to the hood; it is the same length back and front; the cut mostly resembles fig. 104 but otherwise is characterised by the many inserted stripes; both on front and back, however the middle stripe consists of a very thin prolongation of the body which goes right down to the slit. Length in front 75 cm., over-all width 1,25 m.

Fig. 105.Cut of man's outer frock.
