Explanation of Plaie L — Continued. 



Fig. 8. Quite similar to tig. 6 in general form, but the two feathers are laid on flat 

 and spirally. The nock, however, is much ruder, and the point is a long 

 delicate piece of bone, with small barbs on both sides, inserted into the 

 split end of the shaft and seized with bark. Length, 32+ inches. 



Cat. No. 2787, TJ. S. N. M. Columbia River, Oreg. Collected by Capt. Cbarles
