In Baer's Statistische und Ethnographische Nachrichten uber 

 de Prussichen Besitzungen an der Nordwestkuste von America, 

 we find a second vocabulary named Atna. This is spoken 

 on the Copper River in Russian America, and represents a 

 different language from the Atna of Mackenzie. Both, how- 

 ever, belong to the same group. The plausible mode of 

 accounting for this coincidence, is to suppose that two tribes 

 named themselves men, which throughout the Athabascar 

 languages is expressed by the root t-n, as dinnie, tenni, 

 tnain, &c. 



Squallyamish, — Spoken at Puget's Sound. Mr Tolmie in 

 T. G. S. 



Chenook. — For the important languages of the Chenook or 

 Flathead Indians on the river Columbia, we have the follow- 

 ing data : 



1. Fi'anchere's vocabulary ; Archceol. Americana, ii., 379. 



2. Parkei"'s vocabulary ; communicated in M.S., by A. Gal- 

 latin to Dr Prichard. 



3. Cathlascou of Tolmie, J. G. S. 



4. Chenook of Tolmie, ibid. 



Of these vocabularies the Chenook of Parker and Franchere 

 coincide closely. Parker's Chenook, compared with the two 

 vocabularies of Tolmie, agrees most with the Cathlascou. 



Kalapooiah, — This tribe is placed by Parker on the Mul- 

 tomah river. According to Tolmie, their language is spoken 

 on the Wallamat Plains. 



1. Tolmie's vocabulary. J. G. S. 



2. Parker's vocabulary. M.S. from Gallatin to Dr Prichard. 



The two vocabularies represent one and the same language. 



Okanagan. — Spoken on Fraser's River. Mr Tolmie's vo- 

 cabulary, J. G. S. The Okanagan vocabulary enables us to 

 fix the following one :
