222 Transactions of the Canadian Institute. [vol. ix 



On the table you will see a few specimens of native copper 

 which have been brought by Esquimaux from the Coppermine River. 

 Some of the implements are the property of my brother, J. W. Tyrrell 

 of Hamilton, who obtained them in 1900 on his trip across the Barren 

 Lands from Great Slave Lake to Hudson Bay; while others were obtained 

 by Mr. Alston at Churchill from Esquimaux who resorted there to trade.
