content: Listed on page 74, 79, 80 in "The Exhibits of the Smithsonian Institution at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, California, 1915", in section "Arts of the British Guiana Tribes". This catalog number is listed on page 74 ("Rattle, thumped on ground") and p 79 ("Rattle of bamboo"). These are wrong numbers, but there is not enough information to determine correct number for these. Page 80 lists a "pair of bone flutes" which does match 278641, but it is unclear which two it refers to (E278641-0 through E278641-3).
