HALLEItY.I 



RED-CLOUDS CENSUS. 



177 



210 ; fourth sheet, Nos. 211-235 ; fifth sheet, Nos. 230-253 ; sixth sheet, 

 Nos. 254-277 ; seventh sheet, Nos. 278-289. This arrangement seems 

 to imply seven bands or, perhaps, gentes. 



Dr. V. T. McGillvcuddy, Indian agent at Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota, 

 in correspondence, gives the impression that the several pictographs, 

 representing names, were attached as signatures by the several individ- 

 uals to a subscription list for Dr. T. A. Bland, before mentioned, the 

 editor of The Council Fire, in support of that publication, and with an 

 agreement that each should give twenty-five cents. The subscribers 

 were, in fact, the adherents of Red Cloud. The motive for the collec- 

 tion of pictured names is of little consequence, its interest, as that of the 

 foregoing Ogalala Roster, being in the mode of their portrayal, together 

 with the assurance that they were the spontaneous and genuine work 

 of the Indians concerned. 



Many suggestions regarding the origin of heraldry and that of proper 

 names can be obtained from this and the preceding series of plates. 



The translation of the names corresponding witli the figures is as fol- 

 lows:
