These are the smallest "conterie" (seed beads) I've seen. Medium diameter 0.6 mm, perforatione 0.3 mm. A couple of years ago I saw a bag, possibly end XIX Century,made with similar beads: when touched it felt like silk.I don't think they were ever used as trade beads.

In the US, these are often called "sand beads," because they are so tiny. (no text) --- Beadman ( 2009-05-06 10:01 )
