 c). 



(1) Diameter, % inch; thickness, %4 inch; body is flat, "best quality" 

 is stamped on the rear. Design is much similar to those buttons 

 described in paragraph No. 2 above (No. 42 d) (pi. 63, d). 



(1) Diameter, ^Vie inch; thickness. Vie inch; front is flat, rear is concave 

 (No. 42e) (pi. 63, e).

(1) Diameter, %6 inch; thickness, Vio inch. This specimen is composed of 

 two thin brass shells which, when fitted together, formed a spheroid. 

 A loop is on the rear of one shell, and an iron stud on the front of 

 the other. It is quite probable that the anterior portion of this 

 button was covered with cloth (No. 40) . 



Four of the bone buttons are n/ie inch in diameter. Their thick- 

 nesses vary, but the basic design is much the same. These have four 

 holes in the form of a square grouped around a central hole. Average 

 thickness is about %2 inch (Nos. 42 i, and 195) (pi. 63, I). Another 

 button of this same general pattern is % inch in diameter and 1/12 

 inch thick (No, 42 j) (pi. 63, n). Two other bone buttons have this 

 same general pattern, though they are much smaller than the others. 

 These specimens are % inch in diameter and 1/1 g inch thick (No. 42 k) 

 (ph63,o). 



The last two bone buttons in this series are merely flat, round disks 

 with a single hole in their centers. One specimen is % inch in 

 diameter and Vie inch thick (No. 42 1) (pi. 63, m). The other is 

 % inch in diameter and i/ie inch thick (No. 42 p) (pi. 63, p). 



Cloth (2 fragments). — One specimen is of hair or wool fibers, very 

 loosely woven. It is of a Z-spun yarn; both warps and wefts are 

 paired. It is a plain weave as far as can be determined with such 

 small areas of intact weave. This item is undoubtedly handwoven 

 and possibly made of buffalo hair (No. 125) . 



The other piece is of linen or wool. It has a plain weave with one 

 element predominating over the other. With no selvages it is im- 

 possible to tell whether it is a predominant warp or weft. The weave 

 is very close and even, but the thread size varies. Tliere are 34-38 

 threads to the inch in one direction, and 44-48 to the inch in the
