Cat. No. 23843, U. S. N. M. Nez Perce Indians, Shahaptian stock, Idaho. Collected by J. B. Monteith.

NOTE.-Tribes of the Shahaptian stock displayed a great deal of taste in all of their work, and some of the quivers from that region which are accredited to the Shoshonean and Salishan tribes have undoubtedly been made under the influence of these Indians.
