 The description of Algonquin (94, 95) is based essentially on Jones' first paper.

Known to me only by the remarks on p. vi of .4 collection of Meskwaki Manuscripts and in 

 the list of names of Meskwaki Indians in the lo^i'a Journal of History and Politics. April, 1906. 

 The title may therefore not be absolutely accurate. To judge from the orthography of the 

 Indian names, the phonetic scheme is deficient. Apparently the author was unacquainted 

 with the work of William Jones.

Explains the principles of a number of Fox syllabaries. Only the first one described is in 

 current use. At least two others not described by Jones exist; however, their mechanism is 

 on the same lines.

Gives the more current syllabary; also the phonetic elements of the Fox language as he con- 

 ceives it. The priority of this paper or Jones' second one is unknown. The phonetic scheme 

 is better regarding vowels than consonants. It is deficient in important respects. The philo- 

 sophic tendencies are those of Gobineau, on which see Boas, Mind of Primitive Man, Chap. V 

 (1911) and Michelson, Journ. Wash. Acad. Sci. 7: 234. 1917.

 ton, Forsyth, Galland, Fulton, and Busby, are passed over, for the words are so 

 badly recorded as to be utterly useless.
