VOCABULARIES. 



A. Eskimo Vocabulary. 



The Kuskuchewak column of the following vocabulary is 

 extracted from Baer's work.* To draw up an effective 

 comparative table would require a thorough acquaintance 

 with both dialects, since the names of articles of dress, and 

 implements of art, change with the materials of which 

 they are formed ; natural objects are differently designated, 



* Baee, Statische und ethnographische NachricJiten ilber die Rus- 

 sischen Besitzungen an der Nordwestknste von Amerika. St. Peters- 

 burg, 1839, p. 259. The Kuskuchewak words being written in this 

 work in Russian characters, with which I am unacquainted, J. F. von 

 Bach, Esq., of the British Museum, had the kindness to furnish me 

 with a translation. This gentleman drew up carefully columns repre- 

 senting the conventional English equivalents of the Russian cha- 

 racters for each word, and added also the French pronunciation, 

 which want of space compels me reluctantly to omit. I have made 

 some small alterations in words written by him according to the 

 English pronunciation, to suit the plan of orthography which I have 

 followed in the other vocabularies.
