EXPLANATION OF PLATE LXXXVIII. 



Fig. 1. Scraper. Handle a forked stick of spruce with the bark still on. Blade a 

 celt of hard slate fitted to a notch on the handle and held in place by a lash- 

 ing of rattan. This seizing shows the happy faculty of the Eskimo in 

 grasping every available thing that comes to his hands. 



Cat. No. 55910(e), U. S. N. M. Eskimo of Bristol Bay. Collected by C. L. McKay . 



Fig. 2. Scraper. Handle a natural curved stick of spruce. Blade a very long, 

 smooth celt of schistose rock, set into a notch on the handle, 4 inches long 

 and held in place by a seizing of spruce root. Rather a clumsy piece.

Fig. 3. Beaming Tool. Made of a strip of hoop iron inclosed between two half 

 cylinders of wood and held in place by seizing of pine root at the end. 

 The iron is ground to an edge along one margin and the wood has been 

 chamfered away to give the edge a chance to work. This is an excellent 

 specimen, showing the hair in the interstices.
