7. Lku'SgEn, on the soiitlieasteru part of Vancouver Island. 



This dialect is nearly identical with the S'a'inic, 

 SEraia'mo, XLu'mi, and La'lam, the last of which is 

 sj)oken south of Fuca Strait, while the others are

 liemselves than to the other languages. 



The physical characteristics of the Indians of this region show also

 Che northern type, embracing theXisqa' and Tsimshian; the Kwakiutl 

 ;ype; that of Harrison Lake; and the Salish of the interior, as rep- 

 resented by the Okanagan, Flathead, and Shuswap. The following 

 neasurements show the differeuces of types :
