Snow  goggles. — Two  wooden  snow  goggles  are  shown  on  plate  58, 
figures  I,  2  (cut  19,  54  in.,  and  cut  24,  39  in.).  Both  are  well  made 
and  have  the  nose  clearly  indicated.  In  figure  i,  the  eyeslits  are  dis- 
tinctly oblique ;  in  figure  2,  the  eyebrows  are  carved  in  low  relief. 
Unfinished  snow  goggles  of  wood  were  found  in  cut  18,  depth  ^2 
inches,  and  cut  19.  59  inches. 
Toys 
In  addition  to  the  toy  boats,  sledge,  and  bows  already  described, 
several  other  toys  were  found  at  Miyowagh  (pi.  59). 
Plate  59,  figure  12  (cut  18,  12  in.),  is  a  small  ivory  disk,  perforated 
at  about  the  center  and  presumably  used  as  a  top.  There  are  two  others, 
one  made  of  baleen,  from  cut  9,  36  inches,  and  one  from  the  epiphysis 
of  a  walrus  vertebra,  from  cut  7,  33  inches.  Plate  59,  figures  13  (exact 
location  unknown)  and  14  (cut  7,  75  in.),  are  small  bark  figures  that 
seem  to  represent  whales.  Four  others  were  found,  in  cut  5.  depth  12 
inches;  cut  18,  44  inches;  cut  zt,,  68  inches;  cut  24,  64  inches.  Plate 
59,  figures  16  and  17,  are  dolls;  the  first,  from  cut  19,  34  inches,  of 
wood,  has  legs  but  no  arms  ;  the  second,  of  bark,  from  cut  9,  48  inches, 
lacks  both  arms  and  legs.  Figures  18-21  are  toy  harpoon  heads,  all 
with  closed  sockets,  found  in  cut  24,  depth  54  inches,  cut  18,  59  inches, 
cut  19,  56  inches,  and  cut  7,  75  inches,  blgures  22-24  (cut  18,  60  in., 
cut  27,  46  in.,  cut  5,  23  in.)  are  three  small  ivory  replicas  of  the 
elaborate  winged  objects  that  are  so  characteristic  of  the  Old  Bering 
Sea  culture ;  figures  22  and  24  are  well  made  and  have  all  of  the 
distinguishing  features — a  rectangular  basal  socket,  graceful,  rounded 
wangs,  and  a  small  indentation  at  the  end  of  the  projecting  central 
part;  the  ornamentation  consists  of  only  a  few  simple  lines;  figure  22 
has  two  small  cylindrical  plugs  of  baleen  through  the  wings.  Figure 
2;^,  showing  the  opposite  side,  is  unfinished.  Figure  25  (cut  24,  54  in.) 
represents  a  small  ivory  polar  bear,  the  eyes  indicated  by  shallow  pits 
and  the  teeth  by  short  straight  lines.  Figure  15  (cut  10,  54  in.)  may 
not  be  a  toy,  although  it  probably  had  no  serious  function ;  this  exam- 
ple of  a  continuous  spiral  groove  is  of  interest  as  showing  a  knowledge 
of  the  simple  principle  on  which  the  screw  is  based,  even  though  it 
was  never  utilized. 
Plate  50,  figure  5  (cut  7,  37  in.),  is  probably  an  ajagaq  of  the  sim- 
plest form — a  seal  humerus ;  the  roughened  center  would  indicate  the 
attachment  of  the  line  to  which  the  stick  or  peg  was  tied  and  the 
foramen  at  the  upper  end  the  opening  in  which  the  end  of  the  stick 
was  caught.
