Mr Galbraith <m Logarithmic Tables. 169 



To this list a previous statement applies more truly. By 

 treating the Sitea and Kenay vocabularies as Eskimo, the 

 number of coincidences might have been doubled. 



Besides this, it must be remembered that, in Tolmie's voca- 

 bularies, no terms expressive of the different parts of the 

 human body are given ; and that several names of the com- 

 monest objects are wanting, e.g. fire, &c. 



Neither have the vocabularies of Wrangell for the various 

 dialects of Russian America been made use of. 



As the lists, however, stand, the author considers that he 

 has shewn reason for believing that the Athabascan, the 

 Kolooch, the Nootka-Columbian, and the Cadiack groups, are 

 subordinate members of one large and important class — the 

 Eskimo ; a fact which, coinciding with all his other inquiries 

 in American Ethnology, breaks down, further than has hither- 

 to been done, the broad and trenchant line of demarcation be- 

 tween the circumpolar and the other Indians of the Western 

 Continent. 



On Logarithmic Tables. 



Dear Sir, — It would be acceptable to those individuals 

 who use the following tables, to have it in their power to 

 correct the following errors, which, I believe, are not so 

 generally known as they ought to be.
