Mr David Boyle” describes an old Chippewa 
game played for gambling purposes: 
It consists of seven conical bones strung on a leather 
thong about 8 inches long, which has fastened to it at one 
end a small piece of fur and at the other a hickory pin 34 
inches long [figure 701]. The game was played by catch- 
ing the pin near the head, swinging the bones upwards, 
and trying to insert the point of the pin into one of them 
before they descended. Bach bone is said to have pos- 
sessed a value of its own; the highest value being placed

gun; Chippewa Indi- playing. This bone has also three holes near the wide 
ans, Ontario; from end, and to insert the pin into any of these entitled the 
Boyle. : a ‘ 
player to an extra number of points. Above each hole is 
a series of notches numbering respectively 4, 6, and 9, which were, presumably, 
the value attached. . . . The one in our possession was presented by Mr 
J. Wood, an intelligent and influential member of the Missisauga band, near 
Hagersville.
