Another specimen, much heavier in
proportion, and showing a white surface
from decomposition, is also in the American
Museum of Natural History. It was pro-
cured at or near Sitka, but the exact locality
is unknown. It measures 113 in. in length,
20% in. in greater breadth of lateral sides,
and 14 in. in maximum thickness, tapering
near the ends. The smaller and rear end
presents a greater and shorter downward
curve. ‘

Still another war-pick, of pale-green
jade, from the Tsimshian of British Colum-
bia, is in the Bishop collection of the Metro-
politan Museum of Art, New York. It
shows a shallow groove on the upper face
nearer the rear. The smaller end is some-
what broken, and, possibly on this account,
shows less curvature.

A war-pick collected on Graham island,
of the Queen Charlotte group, is men-
tioned and illustrated in a paper by Alexan-
der Mackenzie in the Transactions of the
Royal Society of Canada, for 1891. It is
“of light-green jade,” and in shape is re-
ferred to one of common stone pictured in
