Three other lists from California dialects, two collected by Stephen 
Powers and one from Major J. W. Powell’s Comparative Vocabularies 
(Contributions to North American Ethnology, vol. m1) are added here. 
One of these—the Konkau—appears to be substantially the same as 
the Haiit of Professor McGee’s lists.
