Rare Totem Posts.

A curious and interesting addition
has been made to the Pitt-Rivers Mu-
scum at Oxford in the shape of a rare
totem post" from Queen Charlotte's s
Island. British Columbia. 1t was pre-
sented by Prof. Tylor, who obtained
it through the agency Of the Hudson
Bay Company. The rarity of these
totems is due to the increasing infiu-
ence OF the missionaries among the ma
tive Indians. The new addition to the
museum consists OF a cedar-wood trunk
about 40 feet in height. Bears and
ravines are prominent among the
carvings. There are also two "house
posts" from the same island, one of
them representing the killer whale"
AS this creature is supposed to be in
habiteS by devil, the post has heads
at EACH end. while the demon remains
in the middle.
