inches long", with eyes ouefouith and three-eighths of im inch in diameter. 

 Those found by Mr. Powers in the mounds of Linn County are about 

 the same size, some of which are highly polished. A stone needle for 

 making nets does not belong to the Sound. A single one was found 

 at Sauvie's Island about 7^ inches long, 1 inch thick, cylindrical, 

 smooth, of volcanic rock, weighing of ounces, blunt at both ends, with 

 a hole nearly the fourth of an inch in diameter, about an inch from one 

 end to receive the twine. It belongs to Dr. Ilafferty. 



Game stones. — These also do not belong to the Sound. There are 

 seven in all in Dr. Ealferty's collection, two of which are almost perfect 

 spheres, one of which is 3^ inches in diameter and weighs 3 pounds 0^ 

 ounces, and the other is 13 inches in diameter, weighs about 70 pounds, 

 and came from Cascades. Both of these have dots or holes in them, 

 which are said to be the owner's cue. The others are smaller and less 

 perfect, with uo marks on them, the smallest weighing only lOi ounces. 

 They were thrown and rolled into certain holes, but it is difficult now 

 to determine certainly all the rules of the game. 



Calendar stone. — Mrs. Kunzie has a calendar stone, which is 3 feet 

 long and weighs 30 pounds. On one side of it are marks which show 

 the number of months in the year, and on the other those which show 

 the number of days in the mouth. 



Whistlers, of the thigh bones of birds, were found by Mr. Chase m the 

 mounds of southwestern Oregon. 



A bone spatula was found by Dr. Ilill in a mound in Linn County. 



A iceaving implement of bone was also found by the same person at 

 the same place. 



Money or icampum of various kinds has been found in consiilerable 

 quantities. Mrs. Kunzie has several strings of these, most of which 

 were found near her home. They are composed of shells of various 

 kinds, some of them being the dentalia and antelope teeth. 



Beads. — Mrs. Kunzie has several necklaces of stone beads, which are 

 well polished and of various symmetrical shapes — round, oblong, cylin- 

 drical, and square — some of them weighing 2 ounces each and 21 inches 

 long. A few have also been found b^^ Mr. Powers in the mounds of 

 Linn County, but they are scarce. They are made of a kind of blue- 

 stone which much resembles glass. There is a ledge of this kind of 

 stone near Mount Jefferson, from which it is su])poscd the Indians ob- 

 tained that from which they manufactured these articles. Bone beads 

 were also found at the same i^lace, which were made of the leg and 

 wing bones of birds. They were only found on the skeletons, around 

 the neck and hips, and sometimes in the hands. 



Beads of Veuetian glass have also been found by Mrs. Kunzie, but 

 they were probably introduced by the early traders, as were also the glass 

 beads, brass bells, necklace of copper rolls, and coppers rings for the 

 arms, found in the mounds in Linn County by Dr. Hill. 



Animals, etc. — Stones in the shape of animals seem to be peculiar
