content: LONG FISHING NET MADE OF FINE, TWISTED, VEGETABLE FIBER WITH BASALT STONES ATTACHED ALONG ONE SIDE, TIED ON BY MEANS OF COCONUT FIBER, AND ALONG THE OTHER SIDE ARE TIED REEDS WHICH PRESUMABLY ACT AS FLOATS. HAS ORIGINAL PEALE TAG. THIS NET WAS FOUND WRAPPED INSIDE ANOTHER NET IN ALASKAN ESKIMO STORAGE. IT HAD NO CATALOGUE NUMBER, NOR ANY TEMPORARY NUMBER, BUT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A WILKES PIECE BY ITS ORIGINAL PEALE NUMBER. IT WAS ARBITRARILY ASSIGNED THIS CATALOGUE NUMBER SINCE IT WAS MISSING INVENTORY DATA.
