^The collection in the Chamber of Commerce contains relics from all 

 the islands of Southern California as well as those found on the mainland. 

 Some other islands on this coast are represented by a larger number of 

 objects than Santa Catalina Island. The large local collection was made 

 by Dr. F. M. Palmer and afterward purchased by the Chamber of Com- 

 merce of Los Angeles, Cal. The city is greatly indebted to Mr. Frank 

 Wiggins, the indefatigable secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, for his 

 influence in securing these relics and those from the other Santa Barbara 

 islands in Los Angeles county.
