Fig. 9. The Port Clarence and Cape Nome type. The notable
characteristics are the occurrence of an ivory peg in the handle for the
middle finger, the very small size of the handle, and the central
index-finger pocket central in position but quite piercing the stick.
Collected by E.W. Nelson, at Cape Nome, in 1880. Museum number, 44392.

PLATE IX.

(Mason. Throwing-sticks.)

Fig. 11. Norton Sound type, two-pegged variety. In all
respects, excepting the number of pegs, this resembles Figs. 9 and 10.
In all of them the peg at the bottom of the groove is very clumsy.
