. Annual report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. Smithsonian Institution; Smithsonian Institution. Archives; Discoveries in science. GRAPHIC ART OF THE ESKIMOS. 793 eugraviDgs are characteristic of the crude deeply incised lines of the work accomplished by the Indians of Kotzebue Sound and vicinity. Plate 23, &g. 2, is a bone seine shuttle from Cape ISTome. This is ornamented with several almost indefinite lines at the left, i^robably representing seals, while the four conspicuous characters represent well engraved outlines of the reindeer. The shading or marking upon the bodies of the animals is indicative of the markings of color upon the animal, and upon the two middle figures this marking is indicated by delicate vertical lines very artistically rendered. Plate 24, fig. 4, represents a triangular drill bow obtained at Cape Nome. The specimen measures 13^ inches in length. The thirteen figures at the left represent walruses, two of them heading toward a kaiak occupied by a single hunter who appears to be chased by a walrus coming from the opposite direction, as if it had been pursued and probably angered by the five hunters shown in the umiak immedi- ately to the right of it. The native in the stern end of this umiak has successfully harpooned a walrus, as is indicated by the delicate zigzag line connecting his hand with the harpoon which is securely embedded in the breast of the animal. Now, turning the bow upside down, there will be seen two walruses being towed along by an umiak occupied by five hunters. Immediately to the left of this umiak is another boat of similar construction which has just been pulled on shore, as the position of the boat indi- cates, as well as the attitude of the six natives walk- ing along toward the left, each with something in his hands, which has evidently been taken from the boatj and which has been captured or secured on the hunt. The remaining six figures indicate habitations. Again reversing the bow t
