172 Memorial of George Brown Goode. 



NEW ZEAI^AND. 



still Polynesian, but much variation in the style of their manufactures and orna- 

 mental carving. Their cloaks, made of New Zealand flax, a beautiful article. 



Neck ornaments of green-colored stone or jade. The thin, slender club, or vpooden 

 sword (used with both hands), almost their only weapon prior to the introduction of 

 firearms, etc. 



KINGSMir,!, ISIvANDS. 



A remarkable change in most things from the Polynesians. Long-pronged spears 

 set with sharks' teeth ; as likewise swords of different lengths. Woven coats of mail 

 and cuirasses for protection. A porcupine fish for a cap. Natural fishhooks of 

 crooked roots, etc. A very large and interesting collection of the implements of 

 these coral islands was lost in the Peacock. 



EAST INDIES. 

 Models of Malay proas. 

 Krisses or seymetars, spears and shield, battle-axes, musical instruments. 



TERRA DEIv FUEGO. 



The collection is nearly complete, though the articles are so few in number. 



Bows and arrows, the latter, singularly enough, the most beautiful we have met 

 with — flint head. 



Bone-headed fish spears, likewise bearing a strong analogy to those of our northern 

 Indians. 



Seal-skin quivers, slings, paddles, and necklaces. 



PERU. 



Our collection of antiquities is quite respectable; pottery, cloth, nets, plastering, 

 etc. , from the ancient graves. I must also particularize the headdress of ' ' the last 

 of the Incas," presented by Mr. Sweetzer. 



OREGON AND NORTHWESTERN COAST. 



Our collections here were full. 



Paddles, models of canoes, etc., some of former ornamented with different colors. 



Carved combs, the conical, woven, and painted hat (the same pattern is used 

 throughout East India). 



Bows and arrows, the heads of bone, flint, and now iron ; almost their only weapon, 

 except now knives. 



Various grotesque wooden masks. 



Dice, made of beaver's teeth, wooden decoy-duck. 



Model of cradle showing the mode of flattening the cranium, for which the Chi- 

 nooks are so famous. 



Model of fastening a child to a board and carrying on horseback. 



Pipes of wood and bone, imitating steamboat, houses, and other fashions of civi- 

 lization. 



Stone pipes, representing grotesque figures of original pattern. 



Carved stone saucers, some well worthy the attention of those who think genius 

 only the offspring of civilization. 



Ornaments of dentalium shells ; snowshoes. 



Blankets and belts, of native weaving. 



Feather blankets. 



Cloaks of vegetable fiber ; much after the New Zealand pattern. 



Leather or buckskin dresses, moccasins, belts, etc. 



Beautiful membrane cloaks, and baidare (covered skin canoes) of farther north.
