The shoeing consisted of short strips of ivory or smooth bone, pierced and fastened on with treenails or thongs, which were countersunk to prevent abrad- ing. When in use the shoes and runners were coated with ice or often with blood and salt. Boas figures a complete sled from Cumberland gulf, and Mason a much pieced and perforated runner from Green- land, brought by Dr Kane. In the Mac- kenzie r. district were brought together the riding and freighting toboggan, the framed sleds of the Kutchln, and varie- ties with solid wooden runners. The greatest variety of forms, figured and de- scribed by Murdoch and Nelson, .were found in Alaska. The main types are the low, ilat sled without a rail, for carry- ing bulky objects and umiaks, and the built-up sled with a high rail on each side for loads of smaller articles and camp ecjuipage. Murdoch descril)es a shoe of ice, 1 ft high and 6 in. wide, placed by the Pt Barrow Eskimo on the runners. Nelson figures the details of the two types of sled about Bering str., together with the whip, bi-east-board, swivels, and line CANADIAN TOBOGGAN (mASOn) Consult Boas in 6th Rep. B. A.
