N.\tional Museum. — The Museum is rich in collections of American basketry made 

 to show all forms of technic and also to exhibit handiwork from tril)es in the six 

 areas. Beginning at the north, the collections of Ray from Point Barrow; of 

 McFarlane and Ross at the Mackenzie mouth; the rich treasures gathered by 

 Nelson in western Alaska; those of Dall, Turner, Ajaplegate, and Fisher further 

 south; and the Tlinkit ware selected by McLean, Swan, and Emmons amply 

 illustrate the technical pjrocesses in that area. 



Going southward, the Salish and other Fraser-Columbia basketry includes 

 among others Wilkes, Swan, Eells, Shackleford, Emmons, and Willoughby col-

The largest collections from California were made by Purcell, Ray, Stone,

 and Mead in the south. 



The collections of basketry from the Interior Basin are the largest of all, 

 being gathered by Palmer, Powell, Cushing, Stevenson, Holmes, Fewkes, Hough, 

 Mooney, and Russell, and officers connected with the numerous surveys. Much 

 of this is very old. From further south, from Middle and South America, the 

 Museum is indebted to explorers and officers of various departments of the Gov-
