Tribes of the Amur River.—The Gold, who inhabit the Upper Amur River, belong to Tungus stock, while the Gilyak of the Lower Amur River and of the Island of Saghalin form an independent group. The decorative art of these two tribes is almost identical. The fundamental forms are geometrical designs, consisting almost exclusively of spirals and of other curves,— a style of decoration widely spread in other parts of the Old World. In this particular region its oc- currence is undoubtedly due to the influence of Chinese decora- tive art. The spiral ornaments are used in carving, in designs cut out of birch-bark and in em- broidery. They are also applied in etched and inlaid ornaments on iron spears (Case 16 a). The most characteristic feature in the elaboration of this mot've is its combination with bird and fish de- signs. The cock particu- larly is a favorite pattern, and appears in combina- tion with the spiral. On a fish-skin garment of the Gold may be seen a series of designs, at the top of which is shown a crowing cock; other cocks are placed at the end of a horizontal band. On a birch-bark basket (Case 16 £') the same combination of designs appears very clearly, the curved ornament enclosing quite a number of cocks and fishes. Other
