shaft, where they are fastened by sinew lashings. At the base are 
three feathers. 
Figure 44 (10) represents a handsomely made triple point fish arrow 
from Cape Vancouver, with the points serrated as in the preceding 
specimen and held in position by an ivory ferule slipped over them. 
At the base of the shaft are three tail-feathers of a cormorant. They 
are notched along their inner vanes and bound in place by a sinew cord 
at their tips and a strip of whalebone about the lower ends. 
Figure 44 (2) shows a fish arrow from Cape Vancouver; it has a bone 
head, provided with a detachable barbed point fastened to the shaft by 
a cord. 
Figure 44 (1) shows a fish arrow from the Yukon mouth, having a 
detachable point, with a long sinew cord, which is divided on its inner 
half and attached at two widely separated points to the shaft. Whena 
fish is struck and the point freed, the shaft floats and forms a drag to 
impede its escape. 
ARROWPOINTS 
Figure 2, plate Lx1b, is a bone arrowhead from Sabotnisky, the tip 
of which is notched to form four points. The base forms a wedge- 
shape point for insertion in the shaft. 
Figure 17, plate Lx1b, from Kigiktanik, is a bone point beveled down 
to form five faces. 
Figure 1, plate Lx1d, from Nunivak island, is a conical point of wood 
having two short, iron crossbars inserted at right angles through the 
head. The inner end is cut down to a wedge-shape point for insertion 
in the shaft. 
Figures 3 and 18, plate Lx1b, show conical points of ivory from St 
Lawrence island. Their bases are excavated, with a round hole for 
receiving the points of the shafts. 
Figure 16, plate Lx1b, from Nunivak island, is of ivory, with the base 
excavated to receive the shaft. The conical point is surrounded by 
rounded auxiliary points, formed by incisions along the sides, making 
a crenelated pattern. 
QUIVERS 
Figure 8, plate Lxic, represents a fish-skin quiver from the lower 
Yukon. It has a cord attached at the upper edge and at another point 
about midway on one side. 
Figure 27, plate Lx1b, sliows a long ivory rod which was obtained at 
St Michael by Mr Turner; it is intended for insertion along the side of 
a quiver to stiffen it. It is crescentic in cross section and large at one 
end, which terminates in the figure of a wolf’s head. The back of the 
rod has three holes for the passage of a lashing. 
WRIST-GUARDS 
Figure 4, plate Lx1b, shows a bone wrist-guard from St Michael, made 
to wear upon the left wrist to prevent the bowstring from striking it.
