The locution of the lino-ui.stic fiuiiilies in California is .shown on the 

 map. (See tig-. 1(53.) A g-lance at the map will show how, in a general 

 wa^^the State is divided into northern and southern })()rtions hyaline 

 running" from San Francisco Bay to the angh^ of Nevada, and also in 

 the same manner the subdivision of the northern portion of the State 

 into three vertical sections. A little difference exists between the 

 nomenclature of this map and that of Powell. For instance, the 

 Wintun are Copehan; the Maidu are Pujunan; the Yokut on this map 

 correspond to the Powell Mariposen, but in Powell's subdivision of 

 tribes the Yokuts are placed in the Mo(iuehunnan family. With these 

 slight aiuendments the map will l)e easily iuid(M-stood and of g-reat 

 importance in locating C-alifornia basketry. It is interesting to note 

 that, Avhile the Powell map was made long ago from voca))idaries only, 

 the Dixon-Kroeber map is based on grammar, and yet the agreements 

 are nearly complete. Especial attention is called to the ^•ast area 

 occupied by the intruding Shoshonean family from the interior basin.* 



The western division of the north California arc^a, including the 

 coast of Oregon as well, may be divided into three locations, contain- 

 ing each different tri])es. The most northern ^voldd be Athapascan 

 and adjoining families; the middh; division, those tribes associated in 

 Round Valle}"; and the most southern of all, the Pomo. 



The following list of })lants carefully prepared by V. K, Chesnut, 

 of the Department of Agi-icidture,'' will apply to the Hupa, the Roiuid 

 Valley, and Pomo basketry: 



Acrr iiKicroplnilhnn, Pal gun sche ( Ynki), maple. The Yukis of California use the 

 l)ark for their basketry. The Puget Sound Indians emjiloy it in their textiles, and 

 Rothro.ck says that from the inner bark the triljesof the Pacific slope weave baskets, 

 mats, and hats waterproof.
