In early spring, Paiute people took to the marshes to get some of the first fresh foods of the season. The loose ends of the warp threads were simply tied together (sometimes the two weft threads were included) and overlapped in the middle. At the southern end of the Central Valley, in the region of Tulare (tule) Lake, the influence becomes even more apparent.
The long tufts that protruded from the back of the binding formed an elongated tail. These decoys are currently in the Museum of the American Indian-Heye Foundation, New York. In winter, this [Redhead] is an abundant species in the lakes of the Great Basin.
A cord ran along the top of the net and through a groin on the second pole. In building them, Jimmy George usually helped, as did some of George's friends (see Wheat. Some gable houses in the Stillwater area had separate entrances added to the front of the house.

PUBLICATIONS
Synonymy in zoology should use the short form (taxon, author, year:page), with the full citation at the end of the paper under "Literature Cited." For botany, the long form (taxon, author, abbreviated journal or book title, volume, page, year, without reference to "References") is optional. If bibliographic notes are required, use the short form (author, short title, page) with the full citation in the bibliography. Footnotes, if few, whether annotative or bibliographical, should be typed on separate sheets and inserted immediately after the pages of the text on which the references appear.
Extensive notes should be collected and placed at the end of the text in a notes section. For book and article titles, capitalize sentence style according to the rules of the language used (exception: all large words in English must be capitalized). Underline (for italics) titles of periodicals and series and titles of books that are not part of a series.
Use the parentheses/dots system for volume (number) pages For alignment and ordering of elements, follow the format of the last editions in the series for which the manuscript is intended. Legends for illustrations should be submitted at the end of the manuscript, with as many legends printed, double-spaced, on one page as possible. Illustrations should be submitted as original art (not copies) accompanying but separate from the manuscript.
All types of illustrations (photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) can be mixed throughout the printed text. They must be called figures and must be numbered consecutively as they will appear in the monograph. If multiple illustrations are treated as components of a single composite figure, they should be indicated in small italics on the illustration; also in the explanation and in text references, the italic letters (underlined in copy) must be used: "Figure 9b.".
34;Plate 9b." Keys to any symbols within an illustration should appear on the art rather than in the legend. Use of the metric system of measurement is preferred; where use of the English system is unavoidable, provide metric equivalents in parentheses .Index copy may be submitted at page proof stage, but plans for an index must be indicated when manuscript is submitted.
