180 INDIAN GAMES. 



On the other hand, Mr. H. W. Henshaw of the Bureau 

 of Ethnology, Smithsonian Institution, writes me that 

 in 1884 he obtained from the Santa Barbara Indians some 

 interesting points concerning perforated stones from Cali- 

 fornia. He is now preparing a paper on the subject which 

 will be published at an early day. In this paper will 

 be embodied in substance the statement that he "obtained 

 evidence directly from Indians, showing that formerly 

 these perforated stones were largely used in two ways : 

 first, as weights and digging-sticks ; second, in playing 

 a game which answers in all essentials to the game of 

 'chungke.' " This game was described in the former paper 

 in widely separated localities and in various forms. It is 

 not strange, therefore, that evidence has been discovered 

 that it was played by the Indians of southern California. 



In the History of Georgia, Charles C. Jones, jr., 25 * de- 

 scribes the old chunkee grounds of that region, and the 

 chunkee stones. He says, "No longer is this famous game 

 played within the limits of Florida of the olden time." 



OTHER ATHLETIC GAMES. 



Le Moyne, 26 an artist who accompanied Laudonniere in 

 his expedition to Florida in 1564, desciibes a game simi- 

 lar to one which was quoted in the former paper from 

 Lafitau. He says : "They also play a game of ball as

The description of chunkee stones, etc., from Jones, and the description of a 



ball-game played with "curiously carved spoons" which was alluded to in Note 12 



of the former paper, are quoted in a work called Se-quo-yah, by George S. Foster, 



Philadelphia, 1885. 



A description of chunkee, as played by the Mandans in the winter time, is given 

 under the name of "billiards" by Henry A. Boiler in his Among the Indians, p. 196.
