content: Echini are presumably sea urchins. E88759 - 61 are on the list of objects purchased by Swan in Masset, a Haida town, in July 1883. The catalogue card lists them as Haida. However, the catalogue card also lists them as "Chilcat Inds." The source of this Chilkat attribution is unknown, though it may perhaps be a misreading of the original Anthropology catalogue ledger book, which identifies E88752, whose entry is on the same page and above the entries for these nets, as of Chilkat origin.
