figure  2,  levoghiyoq,  depth  12  inches;  figure  3,  Miyowagh,  cut  i,  12 
inches ;  figure  4,  levoghiyoq,  28  inches ;  figure  5,  levoghiyoq,  22 
inches ;  figure  6,  Punuk  Island ;  figure  7,  Punuk  Island ;  figure  8, 
Seklowaghyaget,  purchased;  figure  9,  Miyowagh,  cut  20,  12  inches; 
figure  ID,  unknown,  purchased  at  Gambell;  figure  11,  Punuk  Island; 
figure  12,  levoghiyoq,  24  inches;  figure  13,  unknown,  purchased  at 
Gambell.  In  addition  to  these  there  are  two  more  from  levoghiyoq, 
depths  22  and  60  inches. 
Plate  82,  figures  14  and  15,  are  two  dog  tooth  pendants  perforated 
at  the  upper  end.  They  were  excavated  from  the  old  section  of  Gam- 
bell. depth  32  inches,  along  with  several  others.  Since  none  were  found 
at  the  four  older  sites,  they  must  be  regarded  as  rather  recent  on  St. 
Lawrence  Island.  It  should  also  be  noted  that  perforated  bear  teeth, 
which  were  very  scare  at  the  Old  Bering  Sea  sites,  were  fairly  common 
later. 
Ivory  brow  bands  and  buttons  also  occur  at  the  Punuk  sites. 
Plate  82,  figure  16,  is  an  ivory  ear  ornament  inset  with  small  lumps 
of  iron  pyrites,  held  in  place  by  some  black  sticky  substance,  now 
hardened.  Of  the  original  eight  insets,  four  remain.  At  the  upper 
end  is  a  small  slot  for  the  suspension  cord.  This  ear  ornament  comes 
from  the  midden  on  Punuk  Island.  Plate  82,  figure  17,  also  from  the 
Punuk  midden,  is  an  unfinished  ear  ornament  of  the  same  type.  The 
view  is  of  the  back  side  and  shows  the  high  ridge  from  which  the 
hook  would  have  been  carved.  These  two  specimens  are  of  particular 
interest  because  they  represent  a  type  which  is  common  in  southwest 
Alaska,  especially  on  Nunivak  Island,  but  which  has  not  been  reported 
previously  from  north  of  the  Yukon.  Otto  W.  Geist  has  also  excavated 
an  ear  ornament  of  this  kind  at  Kukuliak,  on  the  north  side  of  St. 
Lawrence  Island  (Bunnell,  1934,  p.  5). 
Plate  82,  figures  22  and  18  (from  Seklowaghyaget,  22  in.,  and  the 
old  section  of  Gambell,  16  in.,  respectively),  are  probably  also  ear 
ornaments,  of  a  dififerent  type. 
Combs  are  rather  prominent  in  the  Punuk  finds,  being  represented 
by  13  examples,  all  of  them  of  ivory  (pi.  81,  figs.  /-ii).  There  is 
considerable  variation  in  shape,  some  with  wide  handles,  like  figure  8 
others  with  smaller,  thinner  handles,  like  figure  10.  The  teeth  arc 
usually  about  2.3  cm  long.  Figure  8  has  unusually  short  teeth  and  a 
crude  ornamentation  on  the  handle  consisting  of  straight  lines  and 
long  alternating  spurs.  Figure  10  has  an  ornamental  link  attached  to 
the  handle.  The  combs  were  found  as  follows :  Miyowagh,  cut  6. 
depth  20  inches.  levoghiyoq,  depth  12  inches  (2)  (pi.  8t,  fig.  to)  ; 
22  inches  (pi.  81,  fig.  9)  ;  28  inches;  30  inches ;  34  inches;  36  inches.
