Seventh: Release the loop from the left thumb, and release the_loops passing around the right thumb and index, and draw the hands apart; putting the left thumb into the left little finger loop, withdrawing the little finger, and putting the right thumb and index into the right little finger loop, withdrawing the right little finger. Extend the figure between the widely separated thumbs and index fingers (Fig. 28(>).

The finished figure is curious and unsymmetrical, and bears some resemblance to a cariboo with the head and horns directed to the left. The Second and Third movements are peculiar to this figure.
