[Vol. V. 



Apache speech are : the Chimegue, the Yuta, the Muca-Oraive, the 

 Faraon, the Llanero, and the Lipan. 



Returning to Major Powell, we find him classifying fifty-three tribes 

 in three divisions, or groups. Northern, Pacific, and Southern, the latter 

 including most of Malte-Brun's Mexicans

The only additions Malte-Brun makes to these are the Chafalotes 

 Chimegues, Muca-Oraives, and Yutas. Some of Major Powell's names 

 are not tribal ; a few are English, French, Spanish, fancy and local 

 terms. The Montagnais are the Chippewyans or typical Athapascans 

 and their true name is Dene-Dindjie ; the Montagnards are, I suppose* 

 the Tenan-Kutchin ; while the Slaves or Dogribs are the Thing-e-ha- 

 dtinne. But the name Mountain Men is also applied to the Tutchone- 

 Kutchin. The classifications of Mr. Dall and Father Morice for the 

 Northern group are somewhat different, and that of the latter, who finds 

 fault with Mr. Ball's, is obscured by English names that are confusing 

 and of very little scientific value. Mr. Ball's list of tribes is as follows : 



Abbato-tena, 



Acheto-tinneh, 



Ahtena, 



Daho-tena, 



Han-Kutchin, 



Kai-vuh-kho-tana,
