Indian Specimens in Peabody Museum

The University has received from Mr. Louis H. Farlow a large and comprehensive collection of household utensils, stone tools and dishes, fishing nets, games, weapons, and ceremonial objects, illustrating the art and customs of the Karok Indians of the Upper Klamath River in Northern California and of the Tolowa Indians of the same region. This is probably the most complete collection of old material in the country, comprising over 400 specimens.

There is also some porcupine quill work and bead work of the Crow and Cheyenne Indians, presented by Mrs. Farlow. Dr. William McM, Woodworth has donated to the University some objects that he had collected on his trip to the Pacific Isles and that his brother had collected on the northwestern coast.

All these specimens have been placed in the Peabody Museum.
