Fishlines And HooksE6560-0

FROM CARD: "ILLUS. IN USNM AR, 1888; PL. 30, FIG. 141, P. 286." FROM 19TH OR EARLY 20TH CENTURY EXHIBIT LABEL WITH CARD: "TRAWL-LINE.-FOR OCEAN FISHING. THE GROUND LINE IS MADE OF CEDAR ROOTS, THE SNOODS OR GANGINGS OF WHALEBONE AND CEDAR, AND THE HOOKS OF STEAMED AND BENT CEDAR WOOD,WITH BARBS OF IRON. KWAKIUTL INDIANS (WAKASHAN STOCK), VANCOUVER ISLAND, B. C. COLLECTED BY DR. T. T. MINOR."Note: E6560 and E306355 were mixed together in NHB storage. It is unclear if all parts have been sorted out and given their correct numbers. Note also that E6560 is supposed to be a trawl line with small bentwood hooks, but there is also a large halibut hook with that number, which may be incorrect?
