Philological Note. — Three of these fifty-seven terms of Indian nomenclature are 

 monosyllables, and twenty-four dissyllables. The latter are compounds, as in muk- 

 wah (black animal), and wau-bose (white little animal) ; and it is inferable that all

 ais, a shell, and the term past tense of verbs in bun.
