138 EXPLORATION OF BURTON MOUND [WrEH. ANN. 44 
A pateh of inlay still remains at one place on the surface. The inlay consists 
of olivella disk beads neatly arranged in parallel rows, imbedded in a very 
thin layer of black asphalt so that the beads rest on the surface of the bone. 
Some of the beads are discolored, others whiter, in the present condition with 
the specimen. The patch intact is 34 mm. long, 11 mm. wide. The remainder 
of the surface of the bone is free from asphalt, but was apparently covered with 
inlay over its entire surface. This specimen has no grooves near the ends. 
(Geb, 2a ya) 
Median fragment of inlaid bone bead, a tubular section of a long bone, 76.5 
mm. long, 19.5 mm. diameter. Ends squared. A groove runs around 3 mm. 
back from the ends. The thickness of the wall of the bone is about 4 mm. 
The median half of this bone is broken away, but this does not show in the 
illustration. Portions of the original inlay, executed in the same manner as 
that of the specimen above described, remain intact at two places on the sur- 
face, the beads being arranged in neat rows. (Pl. 21, g.) 
Median fragment of inlaid bone bead, tubular section of a long bone, 44.5 
mm. long, 22 mm. diameter. Ends nicely squared, the wall of the bone being 
about 5 mm. thick. A groove runs around 4 mm. from the ends. The inlay 
was the same as in the two other specimens from this pit and adheres in one 
locality only. (PI. 21, h.) 
Bead of deer bone, 41.5 mm. long, 14 mm. diameter, walls 2.5 mm. thick. 
(El 235705) 
Median half of a thin-walled tubular bead of deer bone, 38 mm. long, 8 mm. 
diameter, wall 2.5 mm. thick. 
Bead of deer bone, 40 mm. long, 15 mm. diameter, walls 1.5 mm. thick. 
Bead of deer bone, 42.5 mm. long, 21.5 mm. diameter, walls 2.5 mm. diameter. 
TuBUuLAR BEADS OF Birp BoNE 
In addition to the inlaid deer-bone tubes just described, a number 
of bird-bone beads were found. They consisted of sections cut from 
the long bones of birds. One of these has asphalt adhering to the 
outside surface which may have borne an inlay. Some of these beads 
may be listed as follows: 
3ead of bird bone with neatly squared ends, 17.5 mm. long, 4 mm. diameter. 
Bead of bird bone, 14 mm. long, 5 mm. diameter. 
Bead of bird bone, 18 mm. long, 4 mm. diameter. 
Bead of bird bone, 11 mm. long, 3.5 mm. diameter. 
Oxssrcts OF SHELL 
ONE-PIECE FISHHOOKS 
The Channel Indian fishhook is as effective as it is curious in 
appearance. In making a hook the Indian took a shell or the wall 
of a long bone of the deer or some such mammal. First the outline 
was cut and ground true, and then perforation was drilled and en- 
larged to have the form of a narrow-mouthed opening, even in some 
of the larger specimens less than 5 mm. across.**
