by it. Many of the forms seem peculiar. to Menominee and are 
difficult to analyze. 1—yovu agrees with C., Oj., A., Ot., in structure 
and presumably also with Peoria. HE—uws (excl.) has no correspond- 
ent (the form is -iyame), but distinctly approaches the correspond- 
ents of C., F., S., A., and presumably P. The forms of the third 
person plural animate both as subject and object closely resemble 
the correspondents in Oj., A., the East Main Cree of Horden, certain 
variants given by Lacombe in his Grammaire de la Langue des Cris 
(Montreal, 1874), and to a lesser extent the correspondents in Ottawa. 
The corresponding forms of Horden’s future of the subjunctive, and 
Lacombe’s “‘suppositif’’ of the ‘‘subjonctif,’’ as well as the supposed 
present subjunctive of Fort Totten Cree also closely resemble them. 
It goes without saying that the Menomimee forms lack the nasal of 
the Ojibwa, Algonkin, and Ottawa. On the other hand the various 
forms of Cree possess an extra syllable with w. 
To sum up, we may say that although Menominee must be classed 
by itself, yet it is perfectly clear that it belongs intimately with 
Cree-Montagnais, etc., on the one hand, and with Sauk, Fox, and 
Kickapoo on the other. 
Sauk, AND CLosE LineuistTic COGNATES 
The differences between Sauk, Fox, and Kickapoo consist of a 
trifling modification of pronunciation, vocabulary, and idiom. Shaww- 
nee is slightly removed from them. To facilitate the discussion of 
the relations of the last-named language to them as well as the rela- 
tions of the entire group, tables for the independent, conjunctive, 
and subjunctive modes in Fox, and for the same modes in Shawnee, 
are given.
