  WISHOSKAN-YAKONAN 
  FAMILIES.

  This 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  and 
  obscure 
  linguistic 
  family 
  anil 
  little 
  is 
  known 
  

   concerning 
  the 
  dialects 
  composing 
  it 
  or 
  of 
  the 
  tribes 
  which 
  speak 
  it. 
  

  

  Gibbs' 
  mentions 
  Wee-yot 
  and 
  Wish-osk 
  as 
  dialects 
  of 
  a 
  general 
  

   language 
  extending 
  "from 
  Cape 
  Mendocino 
  to 
  Mad 
  River 
  and 
  as 
  far 
  

   back 
  into 
  the 
  interior 
  as 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  range 
  of 
  mountains," 
  

   but 
  does 
  not 
  distinguish 
  the 
  language 
  by 
  a 
  family 
  name. 
  

  

  Latham 
  considered 
  Weyot 
  and 
  Wishosk 
  to 
  be 
  mere 
  dialects 
  of 
  the 
  

   same 
  language, 
  i. 
  e., 
  the 
  Weitspek, 
  from 
  which, 
  however, 
  they 
  ap- 
  

   peared 
  to 
  him 
  to 
  differ 
  much 
  more 
  than 
  they 
  do 
  from 
  each 
  other. 
  

   Both 
  Powell 
  and 
  Gatschet 
  have 
  treated 
  the 
  language 
  represented 
  by 
  

   these 
  dialects 
  as 
  quite 
  distinct 
  from 
  any 
  other, 
  and 
  both 
  have 
  em- 
  

   ployed 
  the 
  same 
  name.' 
  

  

  GEOGRAPHIC 
  DISTRIBUTION. 
  

  

  The 
  area 
  occupied 
  by 
  the 
  tribes 
  speaking 
  dialects 
  of 
  this 
  language 
  

   was 
  the 
  coast 
  from 
  a 
  little 
  below 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  Eel 
  River 
  to 
  a 
  little 
  

   mirth 
  of 
  Mad 
  River, 
  including 
  particularly 
  the 
  country 
  about 
  

   Humboldt 
  Bay. 
  They 
  also 
  extended 
  up 
  the 
  above-named 
  rivers 
  into 
  

   the 
  mountain 
  passes.
