NOTE. 



The following work has grown from a simple catalogue into its pres- 

 ent proportions in an endeavor to illustrate the distribntion of certain 

 games, and by comparison elucidate their original significance. In the 

 American part an attempt has been made to describe as far as pos- 

 sible the implements for games of the types mentioned, in American 

 museums. Additions and corrections, to be incorporated in a subse- 

 quent publication, will be gratefully acknowledged by the author.
