Note 10 — Chapter VIII · FORM—Continued. TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS SHAPED FOR EFFICIENCY

Two unrivalled books on aboriginal invention have been written by Mr. Otis T. Mason, Curator of the Department of Ethnology at the National Museum, Washington:—“Woman’s Share in Primitive Culture,” New York, D. Appleton & Co., 1894; and “The Origin of Inventions,” London, Walter Scott Publishing Co., and New York, C. Scribner’s Sons, 1905. Both volumes are fully illustrated.

The annual reports of the Bureau of Ethnology, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, describe and illustrate American aboriginal art so fully and admirably as to be indispensable to the student.
