and wood, red painty and glass beads ; the latter giving conclusive evidence 

 that the burial of at least one of the bodies was after the period of Euro- 

 pean contact. Only two 

 | skulls were obtained from 

 these graves, and their 

 measurements can be had 

 by reference to Nos. 13286 

 and 13287 of the Cranio-

 body Museum. One is 

 dolichocephalic, and the 

 other is orthocephalic.

as will be seen by reference to Fig. 100, which is one-half the diameter of 

 the original. It is, like 

 the others, cut from a 

 bluish-gray steatite, and

The smallest of the three 

 sculptures (P. M. 13272) is 

 shown of its full size in Fig. 

 101. It is a very good 

 representation of a whale, 

 with its square head, flip- 

 pers, low dorsal fin and flat 

 tail. It is well and sym- 

 metrically cut, and the sur- 

 face has received nearly as 

 high a polish as the material
