content: In a letter from William Louis Abbott dated January 25, 1903, written from Padang, Sumatra, Abbott indicates that they have just spent the last 2 1/2 months collecting in the "Pagi Islands, Mentawi group", and that he is sending three "Pagi" canoes to the Smithsonian (E219094 - 6).

He indicates the two smaller canoes, E219095 and E219096, were new when collected.
