used in the small spears. They are from St Michael. Figure 17 of the 
same plate shows a seal spearpoiut notched along one side. It also 
came from St Michael. . : 
Figure 20, plate Ly11b, from Norton bay; figure 16, plate Lyd, from 
Cape Nome, and figure 19, plate Lv11), from Nunivak island, are exam- 
ples of the points used in the large hand spears thrown by means of a 
finger-rest on the side of the shaft. 
Ligure 33, plate Lv11b, from Anogogmut, is a head for a light spear 
east with a throwing stick and used in connection with the detachable 
harpoon head and sealskin float. 
Figure 12, plate Lyi), from Kigiktauik, is the point for one of these 
. spears made entirely of deerhorn., Ordinarily these points are tipped 
with iron, copper, or stone set in a slot in the end of the point. When 
not in use these points, which havea permanent loop fastened to them, 
are kept in a wooden sheath to prevent the thin metal or stone tip from 
being broken. 
Figure 14, plate Lv11d, from Kushunuk, is one of these points having 
a triangular copper tip. On both the front and the back of the point 
raven totem signs are etched. 
Figure 15, plate Ly11b, from Kaialigamut, shows another of these 
points with the sheath in position over the tip. 
Figure 5, plate Lyitb, from Chalitmut, is an iron point for a walrus 
spear, fastened to the bone rod which connects it with the spearhead. 
The rod is lashed to a wooden butt which fits into the spcarhead. 
Figure 6, plate Lvi1d, from Sledge island, is a detached point for one 
of these spears with a triangular tip of thiniron. It terminates at the 
inner end in a single beveled point. 4 
Figure 8, plate Lv11b, from Sledge island, is a point for one of these 
spears made entirely from iron worked down to a shape similar to that 
of the others. 
Figure 13, plate Lyi1b, from St Lawrence island, is a curiously 
shaped point for one of these spears made from bone with a thin iron 
tip inserted in a slot. 
Figure 11, plate Lvitb, from Unalaklit, is a bone point for a large 
hand spear, the inner end terminating in two sharp points. 
Figure 4, plate Lvi1b, obtained on Nunivak island by Doctor Dall, 
is a good example of a head for a large spear, with a sheath made of 
wood and wrapped with spruce root. 
Figure 7, plate Lvirb, from Sledge island, is a specimen of the ivory 
rods used to connect the detachable spearpoint with the head of the 
spear shaft. 
Figure 1, plate Lv1z), from Cape Nome, is a walrus ivory spur, such 
as is used at the butt of the large hand spears for walrus and whales. 
This specimen is very old, and has etched along its surface upon one 
side scenes of whale and walrus hunting in umiaks, and wolves and 
the killer whale upon the other.
