(Mason. Throwing-sticks.)
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 of 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.
