A short 1901 note from the journal Man describing a large collection from California and Oregon given to the British Museum by Rev. Selwyn C. Freer, assembled mainly by Rev. R. W. Summers. It singles out a flexible cylindrical basket attributed to the Umqua Indians, with inwoven brown human and animal figures on a buff ground, which is pictured in a photograph. The note also surveys the collection's stone and bone implements and compares the basketry with possible prehistoric European industries.
