circular dishes (ilibiy). This is very smoothly carved from a single piece 
of pine wood. The brim is rounded, with a large rounded gap in one 
side, where a piece has probably been broken out. The brim is slightly 
eracked and chipped. The vessel is very greasy and shows marks in- 
side where meat has been cut up in it. No, 89867 [1523] is a very simi- 
lar dish, and made 
of the same mate- 
rial, but elliptical 
instead of circular, 
and larger, being 
22-5 inches long, 15-5 
broad, and 2-1 deep. It has been split in two, and mended with whale- 
bone stitches in the manner previously described.

out of a straight piece of plank, 34-8 inches long, showing inside and out 
the marks of a dull adz, called by the seller “ kau/dlo tu/mai,” “the foot- 
prints of the stone (scil. adz).” The excavation is shallow and leaves a 
margin of 2 inches at one end, and the outside is roughly beveled off 
at the sides and ends. The holes near the ends were evidently for 
handles of thong. The material is spruce, discolored and somewhat 
greasy. Fig. 36, No. 89866 
[1576], was said by the native 
who brought it over for sale to

It is much the shape of No. 
73575 [223], but broader, 
slightly deeper, and more 
curved. The brim is narrow and rounded and the bottom smoothly

It has been deeply split in two places and stitched together with whale-
