Abstract

In this article, Mr. Robbins of the University of California, Berkeley, gives an account of exciting finds of barbed harpoons, comparable to others found near Lake Edward to the west and far up the Nile to the north. The skeletal material is being studied at the Smithsonian Institution. The research work on which this article is founded was made possible by a National Science Foundation Field Grant.
