To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is very likely that the designer wished to show that the fin was not connected with the head, and, as he was confined by the length of the piece of stone, after making the head so much out of proportion, he was forced to cut REPRESENTATIONS OF FISHES, AQUATIC MAMMALS, ETC. 209 under the anterior portion of the fin, in order to express the fact. If we regard it in this light, the notches on the upper edge may be considered as indicating the fin-rays ; but the figure best shows the character o...f the sculpture, and persons interested can draw their own conclusions. " The symmetry of the whole carving is well carried out, both sides being alike, with the exception that the raised portion. At the posterior part of what I have called the dorsal fin is a little more marked on the left side than on the right, and the edge on the same side is surrounded by a faint, irregularly-drawn line. " The carving was, I think, unquestionably made by an Indian of the tribe once numerous in this vicinity, and, as it was almost beyond a doubt cut by a stone tool of some kind, it must be considered as quite an ancient work of art, probably worn as a ' medicine, ' and possibly indicated either the name of the wearer or that he was a noted fisherman.
