DOMESTIC IMPLEMENTS, TOYS, <f-c. 



In the collection are a number of wooden spoons or ladles of various 

 sizes. These utensils were not frequently met with. The readiness with 



which the Indians can make 

 pottery or earthern ladles, a 

 large number of which are in 

 the collection, has caused 

 these to supersede the for- 

 mer. The wooden spoons 

 are always chiseled from a 

 40S7Q single piece of wood. See
