visited Alaska during the summer of 

 1899 as a member of the Harriman 

 Alaska Expedition. The column is 

 about ten feet high and three feet wide 

 and is made from a tree trunk split 

 lengthwise. It was taken by Mr. Cole 

 from the interior of a house in a desert- 

 ed village of the Tlingit Indians near 

 Cape Fox. The column was in front 

 of one of the posts which supported 

 the roof. 



The carving and painting represent 

 a bear sitting upon its haunches and 

 grasping with its fore paws the arms ot 

 a man, the lower part of whose body 

 has disappeared into the animal's 

 mouth. 



Besides its obligation to Mr. Cole, 

 the University is also indebted to E.H. 

 Harriman, the founder of the expedi- 

 tion, for his generousity in meeting all 

 expense of transportation of the col- 

 umn from Alaska to Ann Arbor.

Eggs of Insects 



The collection, preservation and ex- 

 amination of the eggs of insects, will 

 afford interesting recreation. Curtains, 

 carpets, floor- crevices, cushions, furs 

 and wollen garments will serve as a 

 prolific hunting ground indoors; while 

 out of doors the surface waters of ponds 

 and water-butts, the corpses of birds, 

 the skins of cattle, and the leaves and 

 branches of the shrubberies give an 

 abundance of material Among those 

 insects whose eggs make the most in- 

 teresting microscopical mounts may be 

 noted the common house-fly, the wasp, 

 the tortoise-shell and the cabbage but- 

 terflies, the mottled umber and the 

 puss moths, the dragon-fly, and most 

 of the prarasites. The eggs of these 

 are of all shades hexagonal, conical, 

 oval, spherical, and are most richly 

 and harmoniously colored; while the 

 elaborately sculptured surfaces are 

 hardly excelled in the beauty of their 

 designs by the symmetry of the ciliated, 

 winged and fringed ornamentations 



with which they are surrounded. r^Z 2
