TO be examined by hunters in Ohio, on
the Chesapeake bay.or some other place
where geese and swans are killed.
a curious tale is to be gathered from
| two letters published in the Forest and
| Stream. On one occasion P. Byron
Wood, N. D., wrote that James Prick,
of Baltimore, captured a wild swan,
which was prepared for the table. An
iron arrow head, whose shank had been
notched deeply so that it would hold,
was found in the breast beneath the
pectoTal muscle, lying against and
buried in the breast bone to the depth
of quarter of an inch. The arrow
head was covered with n1embranous
tissue, as are all old. missiles found
buried in the flesh of animals. It was
made of one-sixteenth-inch iron
barrel hoop, maybe-and was over four
inches long.
Another letter was from z. ". Nelson,
of Tucson, Ariz., which said, in part:
During my explorations in Alaska
I procured several quivers of IRON
tipped arrows. notched as the original
in your cut of the arrow head found in
the Chesapeake Bay swan, and the form
being unusual. The region where ! Sc
cured my arrows was probably the
same where the swan was shot, the
Upper Yukon river, about 200 miles
above Fort Yukon. They were made by
the Tutchone-Kutchin tribe of the
Chippeway Indians. The swans are
very abundant on the Upper Yukon"
A swan shot on the Grand river, near
gainesville. O., IN the spring of 1882. had
a copper-tipped arrow through one of
its wings. The shaft of the arrow was
of bone. The flesh had grown about il
firmly. 1t was supposed to be an
Alaskan arrow, but no one knew for
certain.
In the fall of 1856 John Simon, of
Landing, Yolo county, Cal, shot a wild
goose. Buried in its breast was an
ivory arrow head curiously carved.
When John Murdoch, connected with
the United States National museum at
Washington read of Simon's goose he
wrote that the ivory arrow head was
undoubtedly one made by the Eskimos
of northwestern Alaska, of which ivory
arrow heads hundred or more were in
the museum. The natives in the neigh
borhood of Point Barrow make
slender polygonal arrow head of ivory
about five inches long for the purpose Of
shooting large birds, such as geese and
swans.
The Pioneer, of Summerside, O.. in
1855 told of wild goose which Benja.
min Tanton, of ST. Eleanors, O., bought
that had been shot in Richmond bay.
While it was being prepared for cooking
an ounce lead ball was found complete
ly encyxted in its liver. The bullet was
@ curious one, such as an Indian or
trapper who had lost his mold might
he expected to make. It had been ham
mered, instead Of cast into shape.

of King William Land and vicinity
