DRILL BOW. Norton Sound. E. W. Nelson. 33181. The bow is curved edgewise, 

 plain, with the exception of a heavily incised crease at the base of either side. 

 One of these creases shows evidences of repeated scratchings with a iiuely 

 pointed tool. 



DRILL BOW. Norton Sound. E.W. Nelson. 33182. A yellowish, rather old, speci 

 men with various figures, nearly all of which are characteristic.

 of old ivory, 13^ inches in, length, upon one side of which only a simple figure 

 occurs that of a man with his anus curved and hands resting on his hips. 



DRILL BOW. Norton Sound. E. W. Nelson. 33184. This bears marginal lines 

 extending from end to end, at one end being a kaiak with a single hunter, while 

 at the other are four inverted umiaks; apparently not a finished drawing. 



DRILL BOW. Norton Sound. E. W. Nelson. 33188. Made of reindeer horn, and is 

 rather thin and deeply creased on either edge by one groove, and by two grooves 

 upon the upper and under sides. The lower side bears sharply incised engrav 

 ings of reindeer hunting; the herd of animals is lying down, while the hunter 

 is crawling up on all fours, being hidden by a hillock.

KANTAG HANDLE. Norton Sound. E. W. Nelson. 37742. Plate 14, fig. 3. 



DRILL BOW. Shaktolik. E. W. Nelson. 38521. Bears upon one side nineteen rein 

 deer, no doubt purely for decorative purpose. Upon the opposite side are also 

 twelve reindeer, though heading in the opposite direction. These, too, are all 

 alike, or nearly so, and appear to be intended rather for decorating the bow than 

 as a record only. 



DRILL BOW. Shaktolik. E. W. Nelson. 38522. Hunter partly obliterated, but 

 to his right are five whale flukes setting on end T-shaped and indicating that 

 number of whales captured. The opposite side the bow being made to stand 

 edgewise bears a reindeer which is being shot at by a hunter. The latter ia 

 lying flat and aiming with a gun. At the other end are three granaries. 



BAG HANDLE. Shaktolik. E. W. Nelson. 38523. Six inches in length and rather 

 stout. It is yellow with age, and boars upon the upper side one base line, to 

 which are attached eight figures of concentric circles with deep central pits.

DRILL BOW. North of Norton Sound. E.W. Nelson. 38781. Both upper and lower 

 sides decorated with nucleated rings, the central perforations or incisions being 

 rather deep. The circles measure three-eighths and five-sixteenths of an inch in 

 diameter, arranged without any special care or purpose, simply following the 

 general horizontal direction of the faces. One edge has whale flukes and the 

 other triangular .summer habitations in regular order and apparently for dec 

 orative purposes only. 



DRILL BOW. Port Clarence. T. H. Bean. 40054. This bow bears hunters spearing 

 seals through the ice, some of which are illustrated elsewhere. Upon the other 

 side are several figures of mythic animals. Upon one edge is a village of tri 

 angular-shaped dwellings, with meat rack in middle.
