 INDIAN GAMES. 



BY ANDREW McFARLAND DAVIS. 



IN the seventeenth volume of the Bulletin of the Essex 

 Institute, beginning page 89, 1 furnished a communication 

 concerning the character and distribution of the games in- 

 dulged in by the Indians of North America during historic 

 times. In that communication I cited authorities which 

 covered, in geographical extent, the entire territory of the 

 United States. These citations were, however, fuller and 

 more exhaustive in some localities than in others. It will 

 increase the bibliographical value of the research if I add 

 to what has already been published a few references which 

 cover the ground more completely. It will be observed 

 that some of these contain new facts, but even where this 

 is not the case, the citations will not be without value. In 

 presenting these references, I shall follow the same general 

 classification of games as before.

 I sent him, communicated the following interesting infor-
