Abstract
IN this volume the author, who has already published a wosrk dealing with more general questions relating to the ancient textiles of Peru, is concerned only with technique. In addition to his description of the various methods of pro ducing the patterns by variation in the interweave, as described from the examination of the fabrics themselves, he has given a section dealing with embroidery. The methods described have been tested by the author in practice.
