"Plate 3, Fig. 9, is the fish eagle (Koot). The drawing was made by Geneskelos, the painter and tattooer of the tribe." Note that this is not a tattoo design, per se, although it was drawn by the tattooer. The caption reads "Koot (The Fish Eagle). Painted by by Geneskels a Haidah Chief and Principal tattoo and painter of the tribe. Painted at Port Townsend, W.T. May 10th, 1873."

"Plate 6, Fig. 10, is the Chimose or Tchimose, a fabulous animal supposed to drift about in the ocean like a log of wood, floating perpendicularly, and believed by the Haidahs to be very destructive to canoes or to Indians who may fall into its clutches. The tahdn-skillik or hat shown in the drawing indicates this animal to belong to the genii or more powerful of the mythological beings."
