Among no other California people was there so great a variety in basketry as among the Pomo, who occupied the greater part of Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties, and vicinity.  It is with the basketry of the Pomo, and particularly with its designs and other ornamentation, that the present paper must deal. Information upon the general features of Pomo basketry, and to a certain extent upon their designs, was collected during some years of residence in the Pomo region, but it was not until 1904 that an attempt was made to systematically collect and verify all signs.
