Note.— Codex H is main basis of Biddle, Vol. ii, pp. 1-81. Of the 

 maps above said, only (2) and (4) were ever engraved. These form two 

 of the three plates of Biddle's Vol. ii.

 posit No. 9. No Clark number. In perfect order, inside and out ; only 

 brass clasp gone. Folios 78, pages 156, besides the two marbled flyleaves. 

 Clark's Journal, complete, Nov. 19, 1805 (directly continued from same 

 date in Codex H) to Jan. 29, 1806, at and about the mouth of the Colum- 

 bia and residence in Fort Clatsop, with various other matter, for which 

 see contents following. 



Contents. — A. Reading forward : (1) Blank, p. 1. (2) Estimated dis- 

 tances, etc., mouth of the Missouri to mouth of the Columbia, by the 

 route the Expedition went out, pp. 2-12 — not tiie basis, however, of the 

 " Summary Statement " as printed. (3) Diary of the weather, etc., 

 April, 1805, to Jan., 1806, pp. 13-33. (1) Journal, as above said, pp. 

 34-144. B. Reading backward : (5) List of traders visiting the Columbia, 

 p. 156. (6) Estimate of the Western Indians, pp. 155-147, in the midst 

 of which is (7) colored sketch map of the mouth of the Columbia, p. 152. 

 (8) Three journal entries, Jan. 1-3, 1806, pp. 146, 145. 



Note. — Codex I is the main basis of Biddle's printed text, Vol. ii, pp. 

 80-146, though of course with collation of Lewis' parallel narrative. The 

 list of traders is on Biddle's p. 145. Biddle also uses the weather diary 

 in one part, for the months not taken from Lewis. The sketch map forms 

 the third of the copper plates of Biddle's Vol. ii. But the most important 

 special matter in this Codex is the "Estimate of the Western Indians," 

 an original b; sis of Biddle's pp. 471-476. Tlie printed pages, however, 

 do not follow this Clark Codex I, but are from some revised manuscript 

 furnished by Clark. 



Codex la. — Fragment. Biddle deposit. No number. In perfect order. 

 Folios 5, pages written 8 ; small paper like that of one of the small mar- 

 ble cover books. Lewis' Journal, Nov. 29-Dec. 1, 1805, wiien he ex- 

 plored by himself a place on the S. W. side of the Columbia. 



Contents.— {\) Entries Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, 1805, as above said, pp. 1-6, 

 ending abruptly unfinished. (2) A very slight sketch map, Point Adams, 

 p. 7. (3) Fragment of a botanical description, not connected with the 

 rest of the text. (4) Label of the fragment in another hand, p. 8. 

 Lewis' going and coming is noted in Biddle, p. 87 and p. 90, Vol. ii. The 

 fragment should have extended to Dec. 5. Slight as it is, it is significant, 

 as this was the trip on which Lewis discovered and determined upon the 

 site for Fort Clatsop.
