S. National Museum, prepared by Lieut. T. Dix Bolles, U. S. Navy, Museum Report, 1887, p. 357. Eighty-six localities are represented in the catalogue, extending along the entire north and northwest coast. Eleven thousand, four hundred and fifty-two objects were catalogued representing three hundred and twenty-two different kinds. No axes or hatchets are reported while there were twenty adzes, two adzehandles, eighty-seven adze-blades and eleven adze-heads, with eight hammers and twenty-eight wedges.

It was made by pecking, hammering and polishing as are those on the Atlantic Coast. It was 10 inches in length, 3i in width and 1)4 in thickness. It had a cutting edge or point, a rounded head and a groove near the head extending all around. It was found by Mr. Schumacher in Pots Valley, St. Catalina Island, where the manufacture of steatite pots was carried on extensively. Prof. Putnam says: "The surface (of the implement) was smooth and greasy to the touch, which, taken in connection with the place where it was obtained, is pretty conclusi...
