PLATE IX. 



(Mason. Throwing-stioka.) 



Fig. 11. Norton Sound type, two-pegged variety. In all respects, excepting the 

 number of pegs, this resembles Figs. 9 and 10. In all of them the peg at 

 the bottom oi" the groove is very clumsy. Collected in Norton Sound, by 

 E. W. Nelson, in 1878. Museum number, 32995. 



Fig. 12. Throwing-stick from Sabotnisky, on the Lower Yukon. It belongs to the 

 Norton Sound type. The cavity on the upper side of the handle for the 

 finger-tips is remarkable for the carving of a bird resembling figures seen 

 on objects made by the Western Indians of the United States. Collected 

 by E. W. Nelson, at Sabotnisky, in 1879. Museum number, 36013.
