1896-97] THE DENES OF AMERICA IDENTIFIED WITH THE TUNGUS OF ASIA. 173 



Father Morice objects to this list, and maintains that the Kutchin 

 tribes of Mr. Dall are, all but one, imaginary. But what shall we say of 

 his own list, followed by the form in each case of the word for man ?

The Carriers, we know, are Dr. Dawson's TakuUi, or Teheili, Indians, 

 whom Father Morice calls Tachelh ; the Chipewayans are the D^n^- 

 Dindjies ; the Beavers are the Tsatens ; the Dog-Ribs and Slaves are 

 the Thingehadtinne ; and the Bad People, or Mauvais Monde, are said 

 to be of the same stock. Dr. Latham, however, calls the Mauvais Monde 

 the Daho-dinnis, and makes the Hares, or Peau-de-lievre, and the 

 Slaves one people. The Yellow-Knives, or Copper Indians, are the 

 Ahtena, and the Loucheux are the Kutchins, Father Morice's Tudukh ; 

 but who are Cariboo-eaters ? I find them neither in Pilling nor Powell, 

 Dall nor Latham, but, as they dwell east of the Chipewayans, they must 

 surely be the Safisadtinne, or, as Latham has it, the See-eessaw-dinneh. 

 Father Morice's deliberate avoidance of personal names has, doubtless, 

 good reasons, but it is unfortunate that one so able to enlighten our 

 darkness on this matter should decline to lift the veil. 



As our present purpose is to find tribal names belonging to the D^nes, 

 a series of twenty septs of the three important tribes called by Father 

 Morice, Tsilkohtins, Takelnes, and Tsekehnes, is worthy of presentation.
