  historical 
  data, 
  and 
  the 
  remainder 
  to 
  the 
  discussion 
  of 
  linguistic 
  

   material 
  and 
  the 
  affinities 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  tribes 
  mentioned. 
  Vocabu- 
  

   laries 
  of 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  families 
  are 
  appended. 
  Twenty-eight 
  lin- 
  

   guistic 
  divisions 
  are 
  recognized 
  in 
  the 
  general 
  table 
  of 
  the 
  tribes. 
  

   Some 
  of 
  these 
  divisions 
  are 
  purely 
  geographic, 
  such 
  as 
  the 
  tribes 
  of 
  

   Salmon 
  River, 
  Queen 
  Charlotte's 
  Island, 
  etc. 
  Vocabularies 
  from 
  

   these 
  localities 
  were 
  at 
  hand, 
  but 
  of 
  their 
  linguistic 
  relations 
  the 
  

   author 
  was 
  not 
  sufficiently 
  assured. 
  Most 
  of 
  the 
  linguistic 
  families 
  

   recognized 
  by 
  Gallatin 
  were 
  defined 
  with 
  much 
  precision. 
  Not 
  all 
  

   of 
  his 
  conclusions 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  accepted 
  in 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  the 
  data 
  now 
  

   at 
  hand, 
  but 
  usually 
  they 
  were 
  sound, 
  as 
  is 
  attested 
  by 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  

   they 
  have 
  constituted 
  the 
  basis 
  for 
  much 
  classificatory 
  work 
  since 
  

   his 
  time. 
  

  

  The 
  primary, 
  or 
  at 
  least 
  the 
  ostensible, 
  purpose 
  of 
  the 
  colored 
  map 
  

   which 
  accompanies 
  Gallatin's 
  paper 
  was, 
  as 
  indicated 
  by 
  its 
  title, 
  

   to 
  show 
  the 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  tribes, 
  and 
  accordingly 
  their 
  names 
  

   appear 
  upon 
  it, 
  and 
  not 
  the 
  names 
  of 
  the 
  linguistic 
  families. 
  Nev- 
  

   ertheless, 
  it 
  is 
  practically 
  a 
  map 
  of 
  the 
  linguistic 
  families 
  as 
  deter- 
  

   mined 
  by 
  the 
  author, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  first 
  attempted 
  for 
  

   the 
  area 
  represented. 
  Only 
  eleven 
  of 
  the 
  twenty-eight 
  families 
  

   named 
  in 
  this 
  table 
  appear, 
  and 
  these 
  represent 
  the 
  families 
  with 
  

   which 
  he 
  was 
  best 
  acquainted. 
  As 
  was 
  to 
  be 
  expected 
  from 
  the 
  

   early 
  period 
  at 
  which 
  the 
  map 
  was 
  constructed, 
  much 
  of 
  the 
  western 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  was 
  left 
  uncolored. 
  Altogether 
  the 
  map 
  

   illustrates 
  well 
  the 
  state 
  of 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  time.

  In 
  Chapter 
  xxn 
  of 
  this 
  volume 
  the 
  author 
  gives 
  a 
  brief 
  synopsis 
  

   of 
  the 
  Indian 
  tribes 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  Mississippi, 
  under 
  a 
  linguistic 
  classifi- 
  

   cation, 
  and 
  adds 
  a 
  brief 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  character 
  and 
  methods 
  of 
  

   Indian 
  languages. 
  A 
  linguistic 
  map 
  of 
  the 
  region 
  is 
  incorporated, 
  

   which 
  in 
  general 
  corresponds 
  with 
  the 
  one 
  published 
  by 
  Gallatin 
  in 
  

   183G. 
  A 
  notable 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  Gallatin 
  map 
  is 
  the 
  inclusion 
  of 
  the 
  

   Uchees 
  in 
  their 
  proper 
  locality. 
  Though 
  considered 
  a 
  distinct 
  family 
  

   by 
  Gallatin, 
  this 
  tribe 
  does 
  not 
  appear 
  upon 
  his 
  map. 
  Moreover, 
  the 
  

   Choctaws 
  and 
  Muskogees, 
  which 
  appear 
  as 
  separate 
  families 
  upon 
  

   Gallatin's 
  map 
  (though 
  believed 
  by 
  that 
  author 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  

   family), 
  are 
  united 
  upon 
  Bancroft's 
  map 
  under 
  the 
  term 
  Mobilian. 
  

  

  The 
  linguistic 
  families 
  treated 
  of 
  are, 
  I. 
  Algonquin, 
  II. 
  Sioux 
  or 
  

   Dahcota, 
  III. 
  Huron-Iroquois, 
  IV. 
  Catawba, 
  V. 
  Cherokee, 
  VI. 
  Uchee, 
  

   VII. 
  Natchez, 
  VIII. 
  Mobilian.

  The

  cited 
  is 
  short, 
  but 
  long 
  enough 
  to 
  enable 
  the

  curious 
  classification
