  This 
  family 
  is 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  single 
  well 
  known 
  tribe, 
  whose 
  

   range 
  extended 
  from 
  Reno, 
  on 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  the 
  Central 
  Pacific 
  Rail- 
  

   road, 
  to 
  the 
  lower 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  Carson 
  Valley. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  basis 
  of 
  vocabularies 
  obtained 
  by 
  Stephen 
  Powers 
  and 
  

   other 
  investigators, 
  Mr. 
  Gatschet 
  was 
  the 
  first 
  to 
  formally 
  separate 
  

   the 
  language. 
  The 
  neighborhood 
  of 
  Carson 
  is 
  now 
  the 
  chief 
  seat 
  

   of 
  the 
  tribe, 
  and 
  here 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  neighboring 
  valleys 
  there 
  are 
  about 
  

   200 
  living 
  a 
  parasitic 
  life 
  about 
  the 
  ranches 
  and 
  towns.
