THE ESKIMO RACE AND LANGUAGE. 293 



compilers of Bibliographies of languages have not seen fit to pay at- 

 tention to the names of persons and of geographical features recorded 

 by the various travellers who have written about the Indians. As 

 these names are as much language as the words in the vocabulary, 

 and peculiarly so in the case of primitive people like the Esquimaux, 

 it is difficult to see why they should not have been taken into account 

 when we come to consider the language. In the work of Kohlmeister 

 and Kmoch (referred to above) there are enumerated about 120 such 

 terms, showing the importance of these as a souice of linguistic 

 information. 



In the compilation of the accompanying vocabularies considera- 

 ble care has been exercised and a large extent of gi'ound covered 

 in order to obtain them. Foi- the Greenland vocabulary the aut!io- 

 rities are Egede, Granz, Gallatin, Rink, Ross, (North Gi-eenland) etc. 

 For Hudson's Bay, Gilder and Gnllatin ; for Labrador, Richardson 

 and R. F. Stupart, whose words from the dialect of Stui)art's Bay 

 are marked (S.), besides Gallatin ; for the Mackenzie River or Tchi- 

 glit dialect the source has been Petitot, from whom also the Churcliill 

 River dialect has been extracted and arranged. For the Tchuktschi 

 the sources have been Vater, Klaproth, etc. ; for the Aleutian, Busch- 

 mann, Henry, etc. ; for tlie Kadiak, Gallatin, Buschmann, etc.; for 

 the Unalaskan, Vater, Buschmann, etc. ; for the Tchuakkak, Winter 

 Island, Stuart Island and Nuniwok, Vater, and in the case of Winter 

 Island also Lyon. The Alaskan dialects are from Dall. In the pre- 

 paration of the comparative Eskimo-Tui-anian vocabulary, the chief 

 authorities have been, Hepburn's Japanese Dictionary, Oppert'sCorean 

 Vocabularies, Batchelor's Ainu Grammar, Scheube's Aino Vocabu- 

 lary, Klaproth's Sprach-Atlas, Ujfalvy de Mezokovezd Melanges 

 Altaiques, Singer's Hungarian Grammar, Turkish, Rsdhouse, for 

 the Turanian languages. For the Eskimo, the vocabularies contained 

 in the works of Klaproth, Buschmann, Vater, E^ede, Cranz, Long, 

 Richardson, Ross, Dall, Whymper, Markham, Gilder, Rink, Petitot, 

 etc. The spelling of the various authors has been preserved. 



In the comparative vocabularies the numerals (1), (2), in the 

 Tchuktchi column denote that the words belong to the dialect of the 

 Anadyr or to that of the Tchuktchi Promontory respectively. 

 In the Aleutian column the figures (1), (2), (3), denote respectively 

 the Lissic, the Aleuto Lisgewic and the Lisgewic-Aleuto, of Busch-
