[Vol. V. 



There are other terms which connect in some way with Dene nomen- 

 clature, found in the collections of Pilling and others. We must not be 

 critical about these, for Father Morice, by his silence, forbids us to be so. 

 Some of the names were given by strangers, perhaps ; this need not 

 trouble us any more than the titles Allemand, Dutch, and Welsh. Still, 

 others, it is thought, may be Algonquin and even Eskimo words, which 

 if true, would be awkward. In each case, a resemblance would be mere 

 accidental coincidence and no sign of relation. However, one must work 

 with the material that is to his hand, and trust to the indulgence of truly 

 learned critics, who can appreciate difficulties. The question is : Are 

 the names of the Dene tribes Tungusic ? This must be decided by a 

 comparison of our two lists, one of which, it must be remembered, 

 belongs to the early part of the seventeenth century.
