ming. 
Dr George A. Dorsey informed me that 
he learned of the existence of a game of 
this type among the Shoshoni at Fort Wa- 
shakie, but they could not be induced by 
any offers of money to make a specimen of 
the implements for him.

Cat. no. 20934. Small tube of reed (figure 735), 14 inches in length, 
with a round hole cut in the side near one end, ornamented with 
burned marks. 
A cord passing through the reed is secured by a knot and a flat 
glass button at one end. The other end has a wooden pin attached. 
The object appears to be to catch on the pin either the button, the 
hole in the side, or the hole in the end of the reed.
