Halibut-HookE20889-1

Accession file identifies original #99 as 1 fish line made of spruce roots, and two Halibut hooks from Klawark [i.e Klawock] village. The fish line was given catalogue # E20888 and the two halibut hooks were given # E20889. Apparently during cataloguing, only E20888 was identified in the ledger book and catalogue card as Tlingit from Klawock; this information was not listed, apparently in an oversight, for the halibut hooks. The culture/locality information for E20889 has now been been changed to match E20888.

Rattle Of Goat HoofsE20786-1

FROM CARD: "ILLUS. IN BULL. 136, USNM, PL. 8-I, P.121."Swan collected two rattles, both Swan original #37. The ledger book indicates the original intention to give each rattle a separate catalogue number: 20786 and 20787. However, when the pieces were numbered during cataloguing, they were instead both given #20786, and were published as a pair under this number in USNM Bulletin 136. As of 2004, they are both still numbered 20786, and the decision has been made to keep them both as that number for now. - F. Pickering
