content: In letter dated April 17, 1901 in accession file, Emmons identifies this object as from Killisnoo. However, he also identifies Killisnoo as on Admiralty Island, but Killisnoo is on Killisnoo Island; it is Angoon which is on Admiralty Island. Because of this confusion, and because of the fact that Killisnoo and Angoon are only 2 miles apart, it is unclear whether this object was collected at Killisnoo or Angoon.
