Local Note
This volumes is listed in Pilling, Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 1, 1887, page 94 as part of a Manuscript folio that he calls "[Contributions to the Natural History of North America. Report on observations made in Ungava and Labrador in 1882-1884 by L.M. Turner.]" Bureau of American Ethnology Manuscripts 2505-a and 2505-c also form part of this report, and there is an additional volume, with pages numbered 1842-2127 (listed in Pilling as "Ethnology of the Innuit,") which had not been located in 6/63. Manuscript 2505-b has not been titled by Turner, but the cover is marked in his handwriting with Roman Numerals XXIII and XXIV. These numerals do not seem to be related to the pagination, and possibly refer to the state before binding.
