EXPLANATION OF PLATE LXVII. 



Fig. 1. Beaming Tool. Made of the tibia of a musk-ox. The bone has been hacked 



in so as to have the broad inner part of the posterior wing for a rest and 



the middle of the front portion for an edge. The natural form of tbe 



bone lends itself splendidly to this method of treatment. Compare this 



with Fig. 3, PI. LXVII, and Fig. 1, PI. LXXXIV. 



Cat No. 90248, U. S. N. M. Indians of Ungava, Canada. Collected by Lucien M. 

 Turner. 



Fig. 2. BEAMING Tool. Made from the leg bone of the reindeer. Only half of the 



specimen is given, bnt enough remains to show the absolute similarity 



between this and the great number of broken implements of the same 



sort found in the Madisonville cemetery. Ohio. See next figure. The 



perforation on the lower side is common in many Eskimo tools.

Fig-. 3. Beaming Tool. Made from the leg bone of a deer. The bone has been cut

and is here reproduced to show the great similarity of form in various 



parts of the country.
