FROM CARD: "16253-6. NOS. 16253-5: ILLUS. IN USNM AR, 1888; PL. 42, FIGS. 231-5; P. 318."Anthropology's catalogue card and ledger book list the locality for E16253 - 6 as Nunivak Island, however this appears to be a cataloguing error. These artifacts are Dall original #s 1145 - 1148, and Dall's field catalogue, filed under accession no. 3258, identifies them this way: "Wooden utensils used like chopsticks, Chimsyan [sic] Indians, Main Land S. E. of Sitka."

As of 2009, E67979 consists of a dagger and two sheaths, and E67980, E67981, E67983, and E67984 consist of 1 dagger, each, though originally catalogued as including sheaths. It is possible that one of the sheaths currently numbered E67979 may actually belong with the dagger E67980, E67981, E67983 or E67984?Provenience note: Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists a locality of Alaska for E67931 - 68019. Catalogue cards list a locality of Sitka. Alaska. It is unclear which is correct, though it is probable that the collection was purchased in Sitka.
