Fig. 34.)a represents tbe model (No. 56563 |225] from Utkiavwlu), 

 which gives a very good idea of tbe .shape of one of these boats. It is 

 •luite .'.^rrect in all its parts, though the timbers are rather too heavy,

 rtkiavwin). It is a piece of wahus tusk 16-3 inches long. The cavity 

 is 1-1 inches deep and was excavated liy drilling vertical holes and 

 cutting away the substance between them. Some of the holes have not
