From card for E313109A and B: "Fishing bag (A) with club (B) called Halibut club. It is used to kill the fish after they are caught. [Bag is] Plain twined weaving. Materials Grass stems made into thread."
FROM CARD: "(DUPLICATE CARD. COPIED FROM CATALOG BOOK)."This object is almost certainly misnumbered. It is marked with "6813" and "J. H. Devereux", but the number is partially worn off and "refreshed". 6813, according to the ledger book, should be a "gambling implement" from Devereux, and this is present in the collection (see A6813-0), so this appears to be the incorrect number for the pipe. The loan ledger entry for 6813 is a lace collar, so it is not L6813 either. The rest of the Devereux collection is all archaeology from eastern states, so it seems unlikely that this pipe was really part of that collection. The name "J. H. Devereux" on the pipe is in newer writing, so perhaps it was added later due to the (incorrect) association with 6813. There are a handful of NWC argillite pipes that are missing from the collection (E2696, E719, E720, E2593...) but none of them have enough descriptive information in the records to match them with this pipe. So this pipe will retain this number for tracking purposes until the original number can be found.
FROM CARD: "BIRDS HEAD."Pipes E60200 - E60204, which do not have original numbers listed in the Anthropology catalogue ledger book, have been presumed to be from Hoonia/Hoonah by the person who typed the catalogue cards, based on the original artifact list in the accession file.
From card: "Cut from a board' blackened with graphite. Eyes both on same side."Though this is identified as depicting a whale, placement of eyes appears to more resemble a flatfish, like halibut.
FROM CARD: "COPPER. 168381-A 2.2CM WIDE; SETTINGS NEAR CLASP ARE MISSING. 168381-B 2.4CM WIDE; SETTINGS NEAR CLASP ARE MISSING. INVENTORIED 1979."
