Notes

Note: There is some question as to whether the two paddles currently numbered E1871-0 actually belong with E1871-0. They are both numbered 1871 in old handwriting, but the larger paddle is also marked "Oregon by R. R. Waldron Ex. Ex. 6.17", which would imply it was from the U.S. Exploring Expedition, Accession No. 66A00050. If the paddles are from the Exploring Expedition, one possible catalogue number might be E2583-0?, which is supposed to have paddles, according to the catalogue, but currently those have not been located.Attributed as Nootka/Nuu-chah-nulth style by Alan L.
