11 pp. 18°. A fragment, consisting of pp. 9- 

 11, of the concluding portion of a Koman 

 Catholic catechism in the Mohawk language. 

 The heading on p. 9, " lontatkentsiokhas," 

 means "Confirmation," literally "anointing 

 the forehead." The first sentence, ' Toiii kari- 

 hoten lontatkentsiokhas ?" reads in English 

 " What is the meaning of confirmation ?" 



Wisonke, "At the Plums," is the Iro<iuois 

 name of the village of St. Philippe, near 

 Caughuawaga, opposite Montreal. These few 

 pages, belonging to mo, are all I have seen of 

 this work, nor have I .seen any reference to an 

 edition of this date. They contain apparently 

 the same niatti-r, in a modified form, as do pp. 

 37-38 of the edition of 1844, the w's and g's in 

 the e.irlier edition being changed to 8's and k's 

 in the later. 



Concerning this work the Abbe Cuoq writes 

 as follows : " I return theleaves of the Iroijuois 

 Catechism. They prove evidently that Mr. 

 Joseph Marcoux, missionary of Sault St. Louis, 

 had his catechism printed in 1823 at St. 

 I'hilippe, a parish not far from Caughuawaga, 

 where the cur6 had set up a printing press. 

 Before receiving the three pages that you have 

 sint rae, I did not even suspect its existence. 

 I had never heard that the edition of 16-f3 had 

 been preceded by another. I had always re- 

 garded it as the first, and I am very sure 

 that no traces remain iu our missions of this 

 precious relic of 181!3."
