PLATE V. 



(Mason. Throwing-sticks.) 



Fig. 5. Anderson River type. The specific marks are the extreme plainness of form, 

 the lack of accommodations for the thumb and fingers, excepting the eccen- 

 tric index-finger hole, the poor groove for the harpoon-shaft, and the ab- 

 sence of a hook or spur at the bottom of this groove. The accidental marks 

 are cuts running diagonally across the back. In another specimen seen from 

 the same locality the shaft groove is squared after the manner of the Cum- 

 berland Gulf type. Collected at the mouth of Anderson River, by R. Ken- 

 nicott, in 1866. Museum number, 2267. 



Fig. 6. Point Barrow type. The specific marks are the distinct handle without finger 

 grooves, the very eccentric index-finger hole, the method of inserting the 

 spur for the shaft, and the harpoon- shaft groove very shallow above and 

 deep below. In the specimens shown by Mr. Murdoch there is great uni- 

 formity of shape. Collected at Point Barrow, by Lieut. P. H. Ray, in 1883. 

 Museum number, 89902.
