Notes

E74330 and E74331 are probably the objects referred to in a John J. McLean letter dated October 15, 1884, filed in the accession file. McLean writes: "I enclose herewith bill for two large pieces of carved wood. The pieces are cut from the top of the broad corner posts of the regularly built Indian house. These specimens are the only ones to be found in the Ranche at Sitka ..." Culture for E74330 had been listed as Tlingit? on its catalogue card. Culture for E74331 has also been changed to that designation.
