288 CLASSIFICATION OF ALGONQUIAN TRIBES [TH, ANN, 28 
The forms which Doctor Gatschet gives as -adl and -adidl are con- 
sidered broken Micmac at St. Anne de Restigouche. The current 
forms are -4djl, -adidjl, yet one of the informants, a woman upward 
of eighty, constantly used the forms given by Doctor Gatschet. The 
question of dialectic variation must be taken into account, as Doctor 
Gatschet’s material came from New Brunswick. Final surds- and 
sonants are exceedingly hard to distinguish at St. Anne de Resti- 
gouche, but this difficulty is not encountered with those occupying a 
medial position. In the opinion of the writer there are, finally, 
neither true surds nor sonants, only intermediates. 
A detailed discussion of the forms is uncalled for. There is 2 cor- 
responding to Fox n, of course, but the forms themselves morpho- 
logically approximate very closely the Fox analogues; as was pointed 
out in the discussion of Sauk, ete., however, certain terminations 
resemble the Fox participial rather than the subjunctive, thus par- 
tially agreeing with the Peoria conjunctive and the Cree subjunctive. 
The termination for the first person singular intransitive apparently 
coincides phonetically with the Shawnee and Delaware analogue. 
The form for HE—Uvs (excel.) is important as showing the fact that 
the relations with Ojibwa, Delaware, and Natick are not close. It 
should be noted that the forms with the third person singular ani- 
mate as subject suggest relationship with the Fox subjunctive rather 
than conjunctive. The terminations -adl and -adidl certainly con- 
tain the obvialitive 7, but though the former is clear enough in for- 
mation (-ad +1), the latter is not. 
It may be noted that there is another conjunctive form for the 
third singular, namely, -te, e. g., pemiete WHEN HE WALKS ALONG; 
this resembles closely the Fox analogue. The other terminations 
seem to be based on the ordinary conjunctive mode with the addition 
of a suffix (?) g with certain phonetic modifications. 
There is a dual, e. g., kispanadidjig THEY ARE TIRED, as compared 
with kispanedjig THEY TWO ARE TIRED. The. actual terminations 
seem to be the same; the -di- on the face of it apparently corresponds 
to Fox -ti-, the sign of reciprocity. This is brought out by such 
expressions as madndidjig THEY (more than two) roucHT. The 
analysis of the example is mad To FIGHT, 7 instrumental particle, -di- 
reciprocal sign, -djig terminations. The expression then means 
THEY FOUGHT TOGETHER, the idea of plurality or duality originally 
not being expressed. Then the later restriction of such forms to 
plurality would be merely a specialization. 
To sum up the general relations of Eastern Algonquian, we may 
say that the group is very intimately related to Fox and Shawnee; 
next, to Cree-Montagnais; not closely to Ojibwa; and remotely to 
Delaware and Natick. The relations with Piegan are not sufficiently 
clear to justify a positive statement, but it should be observed that
