NOTE.— William Henry Holmes, head curator. Department of An- 

 thropology, of the Smithsonian Institution, in "Anthropological Studies 

 in California," records a number of curios found by him in an ancient 

 grave at the Isthmus: 



' ' There were also parts of three or four steatite vessels, one small 

 pot, a round shallow dish, two oblong dishes, and a flatfish oblong plate 

 with squared end, probably a baking plate. Other articles were evi- 

 dently mere burial offerings made for the purpose and doubtless symbolic. 

 The}^ include a steatite hook of a form common in the region, a miniature 

 pest of steatite, a peculiar object, apparently a much conventionalized 

 fish or finback whale, three ladles of steatite utensils, apparently dipper 

 handles, an obsidian arrow point, and some decayed shell ornaments." 



In deposits of kitchen-middens, Mr. Holmes found "many abalone 

 shells and some rude stone utensils, the latter including a flatfish spatu- 

 late stone, one end of which was covered with asphaltum. "
