[Mr. Byington says of the Choctaw 

 months: "But very few Choctaws know 

 all the names or know when the months 

 come in or go out." At first he inserted 

 a list of month names in alphabetical 

 order without stating whether they were 

 obtained from one person or from several. 

 Later he obtained and recorded two 

 others, one October 23, 1854, from Ila- 

 pintabi, and the other December 31, 1856, 

 from Iyapali. Ilapintabi told him that 

 the year began in the latter part of Sep- 

 tember, while, according to Iyapali, it 

 was in the latter part of March. Both 

 of these statements are reconciled by a 

 subsequent note to the effect that the 

 year was divided into two series of six 

 months each, a summer series and a win- 

 ter series. From the time when these 

 are said to have begun, September 21 and 

 March 21, it is evident that the autumnal 

 and vernal equinoxes were taken as start- 

 ing points. The list of months obtained 

 from Iyapali is in almost complete agree- 

 ment with the earliest list recorded by 

 Byington, and therefore is probably more 

 correct than that of Ilapintabi. It is as 

 follows: 



March- April, chafo chito (from 



hohchafo chito, 

 "big famine") 



April-May, hash kuin c hush. 



May-June, hash koichito. 



June-July, hash mali. 



July-August, hash watullak. 



August-September, tek i n hashi. 



September-October, hash bihl. 



October-November, hash bissa. 



November-December, hash kgf. 



December-January, hash takkon. 



January-February, hash hoponi. 



February-March, chafiskono (from 



hohchafo iskiti- 

 ni, "little fam- 

 ine"). 



Besides some inconsequential differ- 

 ences the earliest list has hash watonlak 

 instead of hash watullak. No May-June 

 month occurs in this list unless it is rep- 

 resented by "luak rnosholi," the specific 

 application of which is not given, and
