[1475] The periodical literature can be reached through Poole’s Index; particularly to be mentioned, however, are the Atlantic Monthly, Apr., 1875; by J. R. Browne in Harper’s Mag., Aug., 1861, repeated in Beach’s Ind. Miscellany. For the missionary aspects see such books as Geronimo Boscana’s Chinigchinich; a historical account of the origin, customs, and traditions of the Indians at the missionary establishment of St. Juan Capistrano, Alta California; called the Acagchemem nation. Translated from the original Spanish manuscript, by one who was many years a resident of Alta California [Alfred Robinson] (N. Y., 1846), which is included in Robinson’s Life in California (N. Y., 1846); and C. C. Painter’s Visit to the mission Indians of southern California, and other western tribes (Philadelphia, 1886).

[1481] Sometimes the gravels in which such implements were originally deposited have disappeared through denudation or other natural causes, leaving the implements on the surface. But the outside of such specimens always shows traces of decomposition, indicating their high antiquity. Other examples of implements of like shape, found on the surface in places where there has been no glacial drift, may be palæolithic, but their form is no sufficient proof of this, since they may equally well have been the work of the Indians, who are known to have fashioned similar objects.
