imagine whence it originated. It is the would-be Tacullies or Takidlies 

 of the ethnographers.* 



The foregoing information will be found recapitulated in the following 

 list showing the tribal subdivisions from south to north of the Tsilkoh'tin 

 the Carriers and the Tse'kehne. 



Tsilkoh'tin Tribe. 



Stone TsijY^oJitin ; immediately south of Chilcotin River. 

 Tps\\.oJitin ; ten miles north of the mouth of Chilcotin River. 

 T'jotJieuKoJi'tin ; north bank of Chilcotin River, 45 miles from its mouth.

* The number of different orthographical readings of the names of the north-western Dene 

 tribes is truly wonderful. Thus the Carriers (TaKejiie, the " Porteurs " of the French Canadians) 

 are called Tahkali and Tahcidly by Anderson, Teheili, by Dawson and Takully, Tacully, 

 Takulli by others. The Tse'kehne are The-kka-ne to Petitot, Theketineh to Kennicott, and 

 Sicany, Siccani, or Sikani to others. I am ashamed to own that I have myself countenanced in 

 former papers the wrong reading " Sekanais" of my predecessors here.
