(See tig, 18 and Plate 166,) This combination of plain twined weft and crossed warp has not a wide distribution in America, but examples are to be seen in southeastern Alaska and among relics found in Peruvian graves. 2. Dtagoiial tunned inenving.—In diagonal twined weaving the twist- ing of the weft filaments is precisely the same as in plain twaned weaving. The difier- ence of the texture is caused b}' the manner in which the weft crosses the warps. This style aboinids among the Ute Indians and the Apache, who dip the bottles made in this fashion into pitch and thus produce a water-tight vessel, the open meshes receiv- ing the pitch more freely. The technic of the diagonal weaving consists in passing over two or more warp elements at each turn, just as in weaving with a single ele- ment. But the warp of the diagonal twined weaving never passes over or under more than one weft as it does in twilled weaving. There must be an odd number of warps, for in the next round the same pairs are not included in the half turns. The ridges on the outside, therefore, are not vertical as in plain weaving, but pass diagonally over the surface, hence the name. (See Plate 20, and figs. 19 and 20.).
