[Note, this implies that 22542 was exchanged from the collections in 1885, however as of 2010 there still is an object with this number in the collections. 22543 and 22544, which are also tops, were not located during the inventory.]" Illus. Fig. 989, p. 743 (under incorrect catalogue # 22512) in "Games of the North American Indians" by Stewart Culin, BAE 24th Annual Report.

content: Artifacts 22542 - 4 were originally catalogued in the Anthropology ledger book as toy whip tops. Someone erroneously shortened that to "whip" in the second copy of the ledger book and on the catalogue card. As E22542 is indeed a wooden top (a whip top is a type of toy spinning top), the object name for all 3 objects has been restored to the original longer form.
