  There 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  sufficient 
  evidence 
  for 
  assigning 
  to 
  the 
  Crows 
  

   (Siouan) 
  the 
  northwest 
  corner 
  of 
  Nebraska 
  (i. 
  e., 
  that 
  part 
  north 
  of 
  

   the 
  Kiowanand 
  Caddoan 
  habitats) 
  and 
  the 
  southwest 
  part 
  of 
  South 
  

   Dakota 
  (not 
  claimed 
  by 
  Cheyenne'), 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  

   Wyoming 
  and 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  of 
  Montana, 
  where 
  they 
  met 
  the 
  

   Shoshonean 
  stock.

  The 
  Biloxi 
  habitat 
  in 
  1699 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  Pascogoula 
  river.' 
  in 
  the 
  

   southeast 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  present 
  State 
  of 
  Mississippi. 
  The 
  Biloxi 
  sub- 
  

   sequently 
  removed 
  to 
  Louisiana, 
  where 
  a 
  few 
  survivors 
  were 
  found 
  

   by 
  Mr. 
  Gatschet 
  in 
  1886. 
  

  

  The 
  Tutelo 
  habitat 
  in 
  1671 
  was 
  in 
  Brunswick 
  County, 
  southern 
  

   Virginia, 
  and 
  it 
  probably 
  included 
  Lunenburgh 
  and 
  Mecklenburg 
  

   Counties. 
  4 
  The 
  Earl 
  of 
  Bellomont 
  (1699) 
  says 
  b 
  that 
  the 
  Shateras 
  

   were 
  ''supposed 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  Toteros, 
  on 
  Big 
  Sandy 
  River, 
  Virginia," 
  

   and 
  Pownall, 
  in 
  his 
  map 
  of 
  North 
  America 
  (1770), 
  gives 
  the 
  Totteroy 
  

   (i. 
  e., 
  Big 
  Sandy) 
  River. 
  Subsequently 
  to 
  1671 
  the 
  Tutelo 
  left 
  Vir- 
  

   ginia 
  and 
  moved 
  to 
  North 
  Carolina." 
  They 
  returned 
  to 
  Virginia 
  

   (with 
  the 
  Sapona), 
  joined 
  the 
  Nottaway 
  and 
  Meherrin, 
  whom 
  they 
  

   and 
  the 
  Tuscarora 
  followed 
  into 
  Pennsylvania 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  century; 
  

   thence 
  they 
  went 
  to 
  New 
  York, 
  where 
  they 
  joined 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations, 
  

   with 
  whom 
  they 
  removed 
  to 
  Grand 
  River 
  Reservation, 
  Ontario, 
  Can- 
  

   ada, 
  after 
  the 
  Revolutionary 
  war. 
  The 
  last 
  full-blood 
  Tutelo 
  died 
  

   in 
  1870. 
  For 
  the 
  important 
  discovery 
  of 
  the 
  Siouan 
  affinity 
  of 
  the 
  

   Tutelo 
  language 
  we 
  are 
  indebted 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Hale. 
  

  

  The 
  Catawba 
  lived 
  on 
  the 
  river 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  on 
  the 
  northern 
  

   boundary 
  of 
  Sonth 
  Carolina. 
  Originally 
  they 
  were 
  a 
  powerful 
  tribe, 
  

   the 
  leading 
  people 
  of 
  South 
  Carolina, 
  and 
  probably 
  occupied 
  a 
  large 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  Carolinas. 
  The 
  Woccon 
  were 
  widely 
  separated 
  from 
  

   kinsmen 
  living 
  in 
  North 
  Carolina 
  in 
  the 
  fork 
  of 
  the 
  Cotentnea 
  and 
  

   Neuse 
  Rivers. 
  

  

  The 
  Wateree, 
  living 
  just 
  below 
  the 
  Catawba, 
  were 
  very 
  probably 
  

   of 
  the 
  same 
  linguistic 
  connection.
