180 INDIAN GAMES. 



On the other band, Mr. H. W. Henshaw of the Bureau 

 of Ethnology, Smithsonian Institution, writes me that 

 in 1884 he obtained from the Santa Barbara Indians some 

 interesting points concerning perforated stones from Cali- 

 fornia. He is now preparing a paper on the subject which 

 will be published at an early day. In this paper will 

 be embodied in substance the statement that he "obtained 

 evidence directly from Indians, showing that formerly 

 these perforated stones were largely used in tvvo ways : 

 first, as weights and digging-sticks ; second, in playing 

 a fifame which answers in all essentials to the oame of 

 ^chungke.' " This game was described in the former paper 

 in widely separated localities and in various forms. It is 

 not stränge, therefore, that evidence has been discovered 

 that it was played by the Indians of southern California. 



In the History of Georgia, Charles C. Jones, jr.,^^^ de- 

 scribes the old chunkee grounds of that region, and the 

 chunkee stones. He says, "No longer is this famous game 

 played within the limits of Florida of the olden time."

 bis expedition to Florida in 1564, desciibes a game simi-

 Lafitau. He says : — "They also play a game of ball as

The description of chunkee stones, etc., from Jones, and the desciiption of a 

 ball-game played with "cnrioiisly carved spoons" which was alluded to in Note 12 

 of the fornier papei-, are quoted in a work called Se-quo-yah, by George S. Foster, 

 Philadelphia, 1885. 



A description of chunkee, as played by the Mandans in the Winter time, is given 

 under the nanie of "billiards" by Henry A, Boller in his Among the Indians, p. 196.
