cuLIN] HAND GAME: YOKUTS 293 
Continuing, Doctor Dorsey says: 
In connection with the hand game there should be mentioned a lozenge-shaped 
stone [figure 380], measuring 24+ inches long by 14 inches in breadth and an 
inch in thickness. This stone, with several others similar in shape, was found at 
Klamath falls, near the foot of Klamath lake, and was obtained by me from a 
merchant as I was leaving the reservation. The person from whom I procured 
the specimen said that a number of Klamath Indians had seen the stone and

Field Columbian Museum; from Dorsey. 
had unanimously declared that it was formerly used in playing the hand game. 
It was not possible for me to verify this statement, but from the shape of the 
stone and from my inability to see to what other use it could have been put, I 
am inclined to the belief that it had been used in the hand game.

Two slender, tapering wood pins (figure 381), 6% inches in length,
